I have not kept up to date with how many 772s have been Polarized but the last time I checked it was 13 of them. Most probably by June there will be more so your flight can always be swapped for a Polarized plane. You will not really know until 60 hours before your flight and that can change back until time of departure.
If you are 1K or GS, UA will allow you to select seat 2K. However, if your plane is swapped to a Polarized plane, most probably you'll get 2L which is not as good for privacy as an odd window seat. It's just a matter of babysitting your reservation.
