Window whenever possible. Always like looking out even at night when you see the stars and sometimes land masses below 
Never sat in a middle seat and had the aisle 2-3 times not out of choice.
Don't generally need to visit the toilet every 10 mins like a lot of people (unless I'm drinking alcohol)

I used to be a straight up window guy and 99% of my flights were in window seats. Recently, if I can't get an exit row/bulkhead with more room/premium cabin, and the flight is of any significant length, I'd rather have an aisle. I feel claustrophobic in window seats on long flights and I hate the trapped feeling, especially when I have to go to the bathroom.

Window for me!
i HATE being disturbed by people clambering over or wanting to get out - and when I do have the aisle - I dislike the way people use the seat back to drag themselves up the aisle shaking me!

This seems to be one of those strange behaviours that people simply don't realise is annoying. When it happens to you, it's obvious. When someone does this, it annoys me, but for some reason it doesn't cross my mind that they might be doing it deliberately

I am the anomaly. I choose middle row for 90% of flights. However, I'm petite, fly short runs with no checked luggage, and always carry a Travelpro Walkabout Lite rolling tote. It fits perfectly under almost every Delta middle seat in front of me. If I sit aisle or window, I can't always count on it fitting under the seat. I usually sit forward in the cabin, and many times luck up by reserving the middle seat. Since it seems many people shy away from booking an almost full row (on the 3 side), if the flight is not full, one of the seats will be empty and my row partner and I have that extra seat room.
