What are the best seats in Delta Delta One on JFK-DUB?

Seats near the galleys at the front and rear of the cabin may experience noise. Non-bulkhead footwells are slightly smaller, potentially tight for tall passengers. Staggered 1-2-1 layout with direct aisle access from every seat. No sliding doors unlike the A330-900neo and A350 suites.
