Seat comfort much the same on both although some may say a little more room on the 77W. I never noticed too much difference personally.
A380 - Bar, shower, a lot quieter ride, lower pressure and better air quality. Choose from row 2 backwards although row 4 has some negatives due to proximity of the galley and noise from crew and service prep. Row 1 seats slightly less space due to curvature of the aircraft.
77W - Smaller cabin, suites reported as slightly roomier. Cabin is noisier than you would find on an A380 (engine noise) although not as bad as if you were at the back of the plane!

I personally would opt for A380 over 77W

Yeah, I am leaning towards the A380 as well. Especially since the connection from PRG is on the 777 so I can try both.

Wi-fi reported as better on the 77W however, I see being on an aircraft for hours as a break from it all for a few hours. YMMV

Service generally reported as better on 77W due to smaller cabin

Higher (closer to sea level) cabin pressure surely.
