Only the MAX 10 (and I don't know - was DL looking at these specifically?)
AA has MAX 8s, which are the same fuselage I think as the 737-800. And Boeing makes MAX 7s and MAX 9s as well. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with the comfort of the MAX, it'll depend on how the airline configures it. Of course AA's MAX8 configuration is awful, but they're also redoing all their 737-800s to match. WN has the MAX8, not sure if their configs are any worse than what they currently have. UA will have the MAX9 and MAX10. The main issue with a MAX10, IMO, would be if the airline didn't add a 4th lavatory (some of UA's 739s have the mid-cabin lab at the front of coach).

Yes, row 19 has good legroom, but the non-recline would probably be an issue on a transcon. For mid-cons I don't mind too much. And of course there's 21A/C with unlimited legroom, but a fixed armrest on one side with the TV, and IIRC a half-armrest against the fuselage (I hate those!).
