1A is only really the holy grail because ANA blocks it for elites etc., so people feel special if they can get it. As you can see from my logic, it would rank high for me as it scores top marks on both criteria. But I am not an ANA elite so I am not that likely to get it.
I'll echo all of this, especially the noise profile part, but recognize people have different priorities. At the end you're sort of splitting hairs with differences in most seats outside of true window/location.
