Can't beat the familiarity of the long-haul 747's. I also like the Airbus A340 long haul.

Actually, I used to do the SFO - PVG (Shanghai) a lot before on 747-400 with UA, and now I am doing once a month DFW - NRT on 777 with AA and I find 777 more comfortable. However, every airline has its own seat specs, so... Occasionally, I fly from Beijing to Shenzhen on Air China 777-200 and it is definitely not as comfy as the AA one -- smaller seats.
Yes, Coach is 2-5-2 in 777 and I like it much better than 3-4-3 in the 747, though, again, I end up in the Emergency exit seats 95% of the time going over the Pacific.
On the A340 note, I did it only twice -- once Singapore - FRA (16.5 hours) and it was definitely more comfortable business class than 744. However, I find the A340/330 to be noisier and more bumpy (due to wing design) than the large Boeings...
