I was on a 319 yesterday ORD-SEA in 1C (took it after reading that there may be cutouts on both sides) and found the seat to be very pleasant. If the choices in F are 1C or 2D as they were for me, I'd go with 1C any day. (Surprised as a 1P to clear at F3 at 3 days, but it turns out the majority of folks were paid-F or reward-F no status -- my meal priority was 2 out of 8).

OTOH, the bins in F suck. I boarded 7th out of 8 for F, and all the bins and the closet were already gone. My bags ended up over the gap between row 2 and 6.
