This versions is retired from the flett, United has two one versions of 752's with lie-flat seats. This version flies domestic routes. principally premium transcontinental service (p.t.s aka PS) and some hub-to-hub.
Boeing 757-200 p.s. (Premium Service) Configuration
BUSINESS CLASS
Standard Business suites with 180 lie-flat seats and AVOD. AC power and USB ports are available.
The bulkhead seats are in Rows 1 and 5 and have wider footwells. Regarding these seats, note the following:
Seats 1 A/B and 5 A/B are subject to noise and light from the galleys and may not be a good choice for redeye flights.
Seats 1E/F and 5E/F have wide footwells and are separated from the galley.
Seat 1B (&5B?) has the deepest footwell but a direct view into the gallery.
Seats 1 E/F (&5E/F?) have about 1" less legroom than the other bulkhead seats with a bed length of about 5' 10".
The snack basket is often placed on the shelf in front of 1A/B and 5A/B.
All other seats have narrow footwells, especially the window seats. They have bed length of about 6'1".
ECONOMY PLUS / EXIT ROW SEATS
Row 21 (exit row) has the most leg space. The rest of E+ is pretty much the same.
ECONOMY CLASS
Row 20 (exit row bulkhead) is E-, not E+.
No longer in service, the standard domestic F (non-lie flat ) 757-200
For the other 752 aircraft, (now retired) see Everything You Want to Know About Where to Sit on an International 757-200 (16 BF)

Rather full SFO-IAD flight that I'm trying to get the best econo seats so that if/when my upgrades fail to clear I'm not miserable. It is the overnight/redeye flight, so sleep would be nice, if possible.
Choices are between 16C and 9B. I'm thinking the "infinate" legroom of 9B is worth taking a middle seat. I would prefer a window, so I can lean on the side of the plane to sleep, but 15A/F are the only E+ windows available, and I'm scared of the "limited recline".
Thoughts?

Even though I would normally take 16C over 9B, 16C might not be as good if you want to sleep as you will get woken up whenever 16A or 16B wants to get up. In 9B you'll never need to be woken up because 9A can easily get past you.

But if you care about warmth, I've found 16C to be warmer than 9B on a regular basis.

I think Seatguru understates the exit slide issue with this seat. I would definately denote this as a "red" seat and avoid it at all costs. One really has to sit at a strange angle so that your legs clear the slide.
If you can't get rows 15 or 16 (blocked, or travelling with kids) then I would just go for rows 10 or 11. I think 8 and 9 have more troubles that they are worth.

thus wreaking havoc on my toes and with me being the orthopedic shoe 'n orthotic terrorist 
, i have to be wary of my left ankle so will ask the f/a's if i can stand in/near the mid galley until the majority of the boarding of the village has been completed.

Okay, assuming I want to use my laptop inflight (since there's power) on a ps 757 in "economy plus", do I go with 15A (bulkhead, in which case I'd only have one seat to myself and no underseat storage) or 20A (which for the moment, the whole row is empty)? For travel in january. Not that I expect it to be empty that much longer.
Didn't have a problem using my laptop on an Asiana 747 in Y which also has 34" pitch, so I suspect that won't be too much of a problem.

I'm not sure if this has been brought up before (search within post says no), but has anyone else noticed 7a and 7b available on regular 752 seatmaps? I booked 7a just to see what happens.

Just a little shout-out for 8DE on 752 non-p.s. planes... Just tried these for the first time with my SO. Big ^ Lots of leg room, nowhere near as claustrophobic as the bulkheads, and bit more privacy than 9ABC. My new go-to when flying with a partner.

8E is probably the most claustrophobic bulkhead seat over 1ABCD on the 752.

Indeed. I was responding to your statement that 8E was "nowhere near as claustrophobic as the bulkheads". I'd say that 8E vs 1ABCD is pretty much a wash when it comes to the bulkheads, and 1 may be slightly less claustrophobic (due to the side-to-side space), thereby making 8E the most claustrophobic seat on the plane

757 Seat Question
Do you often like seat 9A and 9B better than 8D and 8E or is 16A and 16B better any thoughts would be great also it is a full flight red eye so most likely people will be sleeping

Rows 8 and 16 are my preference.
