If you choose a front row seat on American your bags, of course, will have to go in the overhead locker for takeoff and landing.
It's worth remembering that the seat belt sign will not go off for a long time, most likely until the full cruising altitude is reached. This will feel like a very long time if you're waiting to grab something from up above.
So, I think for me, any row but the first one has a slight advantage, allowing the floor space to be used for storage.
Great report! ^^

I have been on the overnight KOA-LAX flight before and they have served a pizza as a snack in F just after take off ( as it is a short night flight) -maybe they discontinued this?

You create a problem and expect the crew to fix it... just drink quicker in future!
Wha did you go for food-wise?

I have been told over on the AA board that they will serve a light breakfast before landing if it's a night time flight. And drink service soon after take off

That's what I had on my HNL-PHX and HNL-LAX red eyes. Drinks run + snack basket after takeoff then a fruit plate before landing.

Pics uploading...
Currently in GC south. Possibly the best TATL ever
MORE thoughts on that soon...
edit
reflections this far
the trip... Crazy, yes. Hard work, not as bad as expected! The great planes, lounges and crew have made it more a pleasure and I don't feel like I have flown for 4 days! TPs have posted until LAX on the outward leg and hopefully the rest soon to push me well into Gold ^
American... seeing as most of the trip was aboard american, what do I think? I think BA need to up their game. Hard and soft products.
The planes... The 77W is a joy. The minicabin is bliss and combined with an excellent crew made for a very enjoyable experience. Everything was better than CW. The seat is stand out for me. The best sleep I have had at 34k feet No exceptions and I will now take the 77W for all future TATL bookings until something better comes along (or I go F 
) The 321T was great in J and F, both very comfy and again great food and service. The 757.... need I say more?!?
BA CE on the 319.... I'm sure you all know it! I would rate the 757 seat above it though.
Best longue.... possibly Admirals LAX T4. I really liked the vibe their and the staff were very helpful with my seat moves and printing of boarding passes ^
Best moment.... everyone loves an opup into F
Worst..... Attempting to sleep on the KOA to LAX leg...urgh
My chariot..
3J..very comfortable and private
Pre departure bubbles
Menu
Keep them coming!
Dinner. Amazing. Piping hot and great flavour.
Dessert
Breakfast although was too full to finish it!
Approach into LHR

I am surprised that you chose Admerials LAX as best lounge. I have been in there about 6 times and find it dire, even when the cookies are out. Now the Flagship on the other side is better than the Flounge .
