Given the OP enjoys a window seat, it seems like the 2-2 configuration on the 752 would be a better fit as they could be sitting next together and have a window seat which isn’t possible with Polaris.
And I don’t understand what is meant by added benefit of a lie-flat seat and large video screen. The 752 seats are lie flat and have the same size video screen (and IFE content). The 752 seats are also actually a bit wider than the 787.
As well, don’t think the internet on a 787 is materially better than a 757.
