I can fly EWR to AMS either on the 757 or the 767-400 in C. Are there any recommendations on which one to choose?

If you are flying alone the center seat on the 767 means no neighbor which is nice. It also has the espresso machine if you're in to that. The 757 has AVOD, but for the east-bound trip I'd imagine that you'll be sleeping so that shouldn't matter too much.
Assuming that the schedule doesn't matter one way or the other, I'd probably take the 767 for the single seat.

There are many reasons which I'm sure will be listed.

It really depends on your preference. The seats are virtually identical but the front cabin on the 752 is (obviously) much smaller so you tend to get more personalized service. I've flown both the 752 and the 762/764 and I prefer the 762/764s. For me, the 752 just has too much of a domestic feel to it (maybe because I fly it a lot between EWR and PBI/FLL?).

It makes very little difference in the end. Personally I'd slightly prefer the 767, but it's so close that I'd just pick whichever is the later departure so I could get more sleep.

I'd go with the 757 and enjoy the AVOD system, especially on the daytime AMS-EWR flight.

The long skinny 75 tubes are my
LEAST favorite of all the Boeings
And I've been on them all* for
six decades (*in pssenger service)
