All things being equal (which they ain't )it'd be the 757.

The ratio of F/Y seats on the 757 is 1:6.625 compared to the 737-800's 1:10</font>
Which is one of the main reasons why many of us have almost always succeeded in upgrading from the dreadful coach section on these airplanes.

So other than the fact that there are a few more rows of seats, the seats and aisles in Y are the same. I still fail to understand what all the fuss is about. At least all the 757s have IFE.</font>
I guess it is just perception. I dislike the 737 just as much, but they fly shorter routes (UA does not have NGs, so I'm never on a 737 for more than 1000 miles) so I'm not in them for nearly as long as when I am on a 757 doing a 1750mi flight to ORD or 2300mi to IAD.
