LH has the new business class in the 748. Still many 346 are flying with the old seats. I would avoid the 346 for that reason. The 748 seats are fully flat, but significantly smaller than business class seats on other airline. They also don't have aisle access from every seat.
LX has new seats, fully flat but also relatively narrow. They squeese 4+5 = 9 seats into every double row, other airlines with a similar staggered layout have 7 or 8 per double row in the 3x0 and usually 8 in the (significantly wider) 777.
If you are not too 'wide' yourself you most likely will like the LX seat better.

Assuming you are connecting from somewhere: MUC is the nicest airport for connections, ZRH second and FRA last.

Hopefully somebody else will be able to answer the question about booking on United. I remember some post with difficulties in selecting seats / upgrading etc.
