Close to travel date? Or never?

Any personal experience (or opinions) would be greatly appreciated.
Bumping my original post for visibility.

But, also wanted to say that I went ahead and booked the business award with one LO segment in economy. But for the LO segments in business, I was disappointed to see that I could not select the seats online. A quick search shows that this functionality at lot.com was 'lost' and never re-enabled, back in 2015'ish? So, I took the advice of others and used Facebook to connect with LOT, and all seat selections were done by a very prompt LOT Facebook staff, in less than 5 minutes. ^

Now, waiting for J inventory to be released by LO into Aeroplan. Anyone?
