I prefer front cabin as it seems to be more private. However, 77A and 77B have two lavatories in the front cabin in each side of row 1. Row 1 seems to get more foot traffic.

I don't like 1D as there is no overhead bin available above the seat. Last time I had to apologize to seatmate at 2D for putting my hand luggage above him.
