Yes the 757 is preferable but UA only flies international versions of this aircraft at this point.
It's just math. I'd rather have greater upgrade chances and the Boeing options do that with 16-20 seats to upgrade into. I'm NOT advocating for the airbus 319 with only 8 F seats certainly.
If I was booking domestic F I wouldn't mind the 175, but I don't do that often at all, always look for the most seats to book with upgrade on my mind. Particularly for a 4 hour flight. It is a generous 12 seat F cabin, but 4-8 seats more for Boeing wins for me.
