It doesn't make so much difference to be honest - Aegean are reasonably generous with legroom.
I agree with you - I could have sworn I've been on A3 planes where there was loads of room for much more than 5 or 6 rows (I don't remember when and where, and it contradicts what most people report here :P).
The exit rows are also a good option. In either A320s or A321s, I go for the second of the two successive exit rows (I believe 11 and 12 are exit rows in the A320s), since the front exit row seats never recline.
Btw, I disagree about Aegean having generous legroom. Apart from the front and exit rows, I have been on flights where it was pretty bad. Last time I flew to Brussels I was 'stuck' in a normal seat and it was pretty cramped. It just so happened that I got surveyed by an A3 marketing person, and I mentioned this. She actually stated that most others she talked to about the same flight complained as well.
