If you are not familiar with this aircraft, it is all about footwells. The bulkhead (row 1) has bigger footwells, which really matters because of the too-short bed length. This would be particularly important for a tall guy. That said, 1B is IMO not a good seat, there's no separation from the galley. 1E/F, by contrast, point away from the galley. 1F is particularly well isolated.
