My own advice is to go for the back of the bus if you value an empty seat next to you - BA fill their planes from front to back. I prefer an empty seat next to me over additional seat pitch (at least for short flights) - YMMV.
I'd always been told that the two side seats did expand - if not then they must be permanently 2 inches wider than the equivalent seats in the third cabin and obviously 2 inches wider than the middle seats when in 3 config.
