Which would you rather have? Less chance of an upgrade .. or a slightly better seat?

My choice is an upgrade to any old/new/good/bad Business Class seat.
Far more important than upgrades (to paid J travelers and AA), it means more chances of getting a seat at the last minute, especially on the Asia flights.
