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.

I'm still not totally sure I understand. On a 738 you would have 16F and roughly 150Y. On a 739 you would have 20F and roughly 160Y. On a 175 it 12F to only 64Y. Therefore your upgrade chances on the 175 should be significantly better.
