Note, the seating chart displayed in post #1 is out of date and should be disregarded. Same goes for seatguru.
General information
The Main Cabin layout is standardised across the entire Boeing 777-200ER fleet, so economy seat assignments are protected in the event of an aircraft switching from type 1 to type 2 (or vice versa)

Safran (formerly Weber) 5751 slimline seats configured 3-4-3 arranged with a 34" pitch; 9" screens.
In the seat plan the MCE seats are indicated with orange accents

Seat observations and recommendations
Row 17: the bulkhead partitions are raised on steel pedestals affording these seats additional foot space
20 DEGH: designated and sold as Main Cabin Extra but beware as reports here suggest these seats do not offer additional leg room

Rows 13-15 are 2-4-2 and labeled MCE, not PE on my flight from DFW-LAX. I can't find any info on these in this thread.
Row 13 is bulkhead, is it better than 17 bulkhead wrt leg room?

Don’t know if you are going to get answer with respect to leg room - both are bulkhead. But Row 13 has better (Premium Economy) seats even if PE is not sold on domestic flights.

These are the International premium economy seats (MCE domestic) that you can select for free (if you have status) on a domestic flight, as noted in the last post. Personally, I think the bulkhead is the best of the "premium economy" seats. Service is exactly the same as economy, when flying domestic, as they are just MCE seats..

I'll answer my own question for posterity. I went ahead and booked row 20 for our ten hour FRA-CLT flight this week. The DEGH seats in row 20 have just as much leg room as those in rows 17, 18 & 19. I measured the space from the front of the arm rest to the back of the seat in front (my wife carries a tape measure for buying fabric) and rows 17-20 measured 18 inches, while row 21 in regular coach measured 13 inches. The extra five inches made a world of difference on the ten hour flight.

FWIW, we flew United going over on a 777-200 and had bulkhead in Premium Plus, there was extra legroom at the bottom in that row and the console swiveled up on it's own arm which did not affect seat width, as I recall. Someone else will need to address the bulkhead on American.
