The 777 has the newest seat, followed by the 767 (almost the same, missing an item or two such as the "hood"). IFE between the two are identical.
The 752 has the oldest of the 3, and the worst IFE.
I would say take the 767 direct (the 777 is only marginally better and not worth the connection). Plus, if you're an aisle man, ask to seat in the center section. CO configures the 767 with 2-1-2 configuration, and you'll get an aisle on both sides of you. Truly a unique experience.
