NZ 777-300 Best Business Premier Seat
Do any of the 777-300 Business Premier seats have extra storage space? On Delta's 777-200 seats in Row 7 and 12 have extra space and for someone with big shoulders it is a godsend...is it the same on NZ? Any help on this would be appreciated, I don't want to sit apart from my traveling companions unless the seat in the back offers some benefit.

No. All have the same storage space, and most people use overhead bins anyway. You certainly don't have a lot of space other than under the ottoman to store things.
There is no overhead bins above 1 B/J as these are the pilot rest area escape.
In terms of "best" seat there will be some in here that have their preference as to the forward or rear cabin. I'm not bothered by either, but do have a preference for B/K seats rather than A/J as I prefer to sleep on my right hand side in a bed, and this means I have a lot of space as I look towards the IFE screen rather than the back wall of the seat.

Piles of storage overhead, and the under-ottoman space is nice too.
How big are your shoulders? If you're looking for max space and BP doesn't do it, you may need to go First on Qantas or something.
Agree with sbiddle's comment about which side you like to sleep on. I'm also a right side sleeper, so I prefer the right side of the plane as it fits my body better.

9A has always been my preference. It's a bassinet seat but I've never had a problem getting it. I like it because:
- It's close to the exit door (especially when travelling to the US...)
- Has it's own overhead locker unlike some seats where you need to share
- The empty space beside it (where the bassinet gets fitted) is very useful for putting your knick knacks in (and the plastic wrapper/clip from the bedding)
- Being in the mini-cabin makes it feel much more private
