My preference for 2A over 1A is simple: foot traffic. In 1A, you’ll be passed - twice - anytime 2A rings and asks for something. Trust me, when I’m in 2A I’m sure 1A gets annoyed as I keep the FAs quite busy 😉
Semi full to full cabin, 2A.

Semi empty to empty cabin, the right side.

Since we dont know how the load would be until we board (we have experienced last min no show of another passenger, leaving us the only 2 in the whole cabin, we also have experienced an F4 turned into an F6 at boarding), I would try to be at the left side at all possible then decide where to sit once we board based on the load,
