Seats in each section are not equal. In fact, nothing shows that more than ratings from business class travelers. On some business class sections there is 1 single seat in the middle row, I think it's 2D in first class.
Airline Seating Charts - Best Airplane Seats - SeatGuru also shows that seats near the rear and mid-galley or lavatory isn't as desirable as a seat as bulkheads or exit rows.
I hate sitting next to the galley. I hate sitting in the rear of the plane. I like to sit in rows 13-25, as far as I can from the mid galley if possible. Last trip to LA as I was boarding, I was turning around and I hit a crate and dropped it on the flight attendant's head who was stooped in the galley. Tall people want the bulkheads, I don't care if I get them or not, but if they are available, we'll get them because it's a little more room. I'm willing to pay extra to not sit in the rear.
And that's not the case for concerts or plays, maybe in the upper sections, but everyone knows that center seats are better than left or right wing, closer better than farther. I've sat in one of those balcony seats for Spamalot, I couldn't see 1/3 of the play on the stage left. But I was really close to the actors! I paid more for those seats than someone did for balcony, but less than orchestra.

3. Avoid the masses. The most uncomfortable seats, for a variety of reasons, are in the very back of the plane. Why? That's normally where the galley is. The restrooms are there, too. There's a lot of engine noise. In old days, that's where the smokers were. I'll never forget the flight from New York to Vienna on an eastern European airline many years ago when the bathrooms overflowed, the air conditioning stopped working, and just about everyone in the "smoking" section was lighting up. No exaggeration: It was the flight from hell. Today, conditions are slightly better. Smoking isn't allowed, but the back of the plane can still be brutal. Occasionally, minimum-security convicts are transported in the back of the plane (they're cuffed, of course). Some reservationists also like to put families with kids toward the rear of the plane. You get the idea. Avoid the back. Tip: If, for some reason, you are stuck in the back, don't panic. The moment the cabin door closes, you can move within your class of service. I would recommend heading to the front of the plane as quickly as possible. But remember to heed the instructions of your flight attendants. If the "fasten seatbelts" sign is illuminated, stay
put until you're cleared to move about the cabin.
