What do you mean by 'better'?
If you have status you can select your seats early.
If you don't then I would suggest that what you see at T-24 is about as good as it gets.
If you want to gamble that 1A opens up at T-2hrs then be my guest but you could well end up sat in the middle between two plus size travellers.
