If it is SQ business class then it is a no brainer. With Delta, you are better off with the exit row or bulk head seat.

P.S. Yes, I have flown DL 200/201 in business so have I tried their other aircraft like the 767 in business. It sucks!
I will take a lie flat seat (that includes 767 and even BA) over exit/bulkhead economy seat for a long flight, especially overnight. Economy seats seats don't recline far enough for me to get much sleep no matter how tired I am.

I don't know how someone who is too big to fit comfortably into the lie-flats doesn't have a problem with shoulder space in economy. Unless perhaps you're just really tall and skinny.
Or maybe someone is lucky enough to have an empty adjacent seat - extremely rare these days.
