I always go row 3. Bins above it or just behind it are open and as Elite or Group 1 should always get some space. If you board later the bins could be a problem. I don't trust the plane choice for exit rows, been changed out too often on me. I'm usually flying in DEN or LAS so they can swap equipment more often. Exit rows are a little more roomy but been stuck in standard rows too often to take that chance.
