In your case, given the requirements you outlined above, I’d recommend the A380. As WT+ is on the upper deck, all window seats have access to a side bin, which would allow you to store a small bag with your meds and give you easy access to them at all stages of your flight.
I also find the A380 far quieter and therefore easier to sleep/nap.
IFE boxes I’ve never noticed as being a problem in WT+ due to plenty of legroom and the footrest.
I believe it’s been confirmed elsewhere in the forum that no seat has limited recline, so you should be fine on that front.
