As there are 3 of you just book any 3 in a row that are not over a wing. ie The Right side on a MD80/83. As far forward as possible to avoid the noise of the MD Engines.
By the way did you mean DFW or DAL?
Full fare, Aanytime award, and Airpass passengers can book the "elite" seats.
Additionally, other travelers can get them at the airport, especially after elites have upgraded.
