In business, remember FEBO (start main meal service First Even, Back Odd flight number). I usually select row 3 on even flights and row 5 on odd flights for this reason.

I sat in Row 11 of a 737 (MCE) last week, one of the few flights I didn't receive an upgrade this year. While the slightly extra legroom was admittedly nice, I was shocked at how threadbare the seat padding was. It's like sitting on a hard metal chair with a slipcover.
