LH 744 Business vs UA 772 2-4-2?
Hi, I have options to modify award tickets to either LH 744 Business class or UA older 772 with 2-4-2. With UA, I could get 2 seats on row 6, so no rear facing seats in front of us. Which one is better? We just want a good rest on a trans-ATL flight, so seat comfort is tops.
Thank you in advance.

UA seats are IMO more comfortable than LH, and IMO the food is better as well, but overall LH is a better experience. More reliable (except for the strikes), more professional service, cleaner aircraft.
For a "good rest" your most important deciding factor here is probably flight timing.

In favour of UA, I also think the seats are more comfortable and the IFE is better (at least for non-German speakers). LH wins on much of the rest.

How is seat 2A in the nose on the B744? I have an upcoming trip on the B744 both ways. Outbound I have the upper deck, and for the return I have the nose. Should I stick with the nose for the return or do you suggest I switch to the upper deck for both legs?

The nose is fine, had always been my preference on the 747. As I get most of the times 748 on my flights, the nose doesn't work anymore for me, as F is located there...
Window seat in the nose gives you maybe the feeling of a bit more space compared to a window seat on the upper deck, as the nose seat is less inclined to the side (at least based on my impression).
