I've only rode in the center row once (3/3/3 configuration plane, Airbus A330-300) and I hated it. I unfortunately don't reserve my seats because of cost; most of the time I get lucky and get assigned a window seat anyway.

I also am picky about plane cause some are far louder than others. I rode 747-400s to and from Japan about 10 years ago, and they were a miserable ride for 12 hours. RB211 engines are noisy as fluck. A330-300 with Trent 700 engines were also not much better. I prefer 787 Dreamliners with Trent 1000 engines, or any of the 8/MAX or NEO series jets from Boeing or Airbus. Much quieter engines.
