in Y: A330 every day. Miss me with this 10 abreast horror.(A330 has no usb or electricity though)
In J: B77W, much newer and nicer product. Try to get a throne seat in the small forward cabin, preferably 4A.
In F: Not a great difference, but B77W is newer and offers more space. Hence B77W takes the lead there.

Also, there are more solo seats in the A333 that are available for non-elite pax to reserve.
That said, the B77W C seat has more storage and privacy than the A333 C seat, but the B77W seat has a hard piece at the bottom of the back cushion that I felt when the seat was full flat, Not sure if this was a one-off or an issue with all B77W C seats as I have only a very small sample of C flights in this plane, having benefited from quite a few op ups....

This has not been true for quite some while.

The mini cabin is a good choice for red eye flights. For daytime flights, I personnally prefer the volume of a larger cabin.

Except for Y, where 10-abreast on the 777 is simply torture, I would just go for the flight with the most convenient schedule, as the J and F products are not so different that the difference would make me go out of my way to get one and/or avoid the other.
