Have I got that right?
I would pick 1D for the full size foot well, though there is no overhead storage due to crew rest bunk above you. Otherwise 5F. 11D would be third choice due to being sandwiched between engines and closer to the PE/Y cabin. Last but not least, keep checking until boarding begins - there could be last minute changes and a better seat might open up.
