I tend to avoid Row 8 as it is a bassinet row. On 77A/77B, I avoid 1D/G due to it's proximity to the right hand side toilet and the closets that the FA's seem to frequently open and close. I often sit in 1A/K and I like it, the only issue is that you have to share the overhead compartment with 1D/G as the pilot's crew rest is above them.

8A/K is like 1A/K, more knee space with smaller footwell. 8D/G is close to closets that FAs love to open and close too. The curtains on the 77B(SFO only has these planes now) also don't do a good job of blocking out light(Perhaps it's because of the lighter color) for 8D/G so it can be bright!

As a *G, how easy is it to snag the exit row seats? Additionally, what kind of shot do I have for an op-up traveling the Friday before Christmas this year?

JFK-TPE-SGN and return on the late JFK flight.
Op-up to Elite or RL? RL op up is basically impossible, they will op up Elite pax first. *G doesn't even matter to EVA except for lounge and priority baggage/boarding. The exit rows open up 72 hours prior and close 24 hours before, when OLCI opens.

To each their own I guess. I find the late night flight much more preferable as I actually have a shot at getting some sleep and the times seem much more conducive to dealing with jet lag, especially if you are connecting onward.
