I agree, if the OP was willing to consider changing plans again just to try FFD, I’d keep the 4 hr layover and hop the T3 lounges.
Get your fill there then enjoy your direct flight.
As for seating, I would recommend the forward cabin as during boarding the whole plane streams passed the rear cabin. Look at the layouts on aerolopa.com, forget seatguru. Familiarize yourself with the two seat layouts on the 777-200 because you could get either. I have become a two consecutive window seat person, as the middle seats just aren’t that close together anyway, at least you can control some light on a daytime flight.
