I would offer that row 8 is not bad. Normally, I don't like a bulkhead row but there's no hard bulkhead - just a "flap" behind the row 7 seats. Because of this, there's plenty of room to store your bag under the seat in front of you. Also, because the curtain is there in the aisle, there are far fewer people walking past you up and down the aisle to use the lav. I usually get bumped a lot in the aisle seat but 8C and 8D work out pretty well for me.
