Tons of trip reports on FT, and other places. It's a well-known and respected product. CX and SQ are basically my two favorites all-time for airlines. Consistent great service, pretty good hard product usually and lovely stewardesses.

Seats 1A/2A on the 77W is considered to be "better" (all seats in that cabin are pretty much perfect, anyways lol) because the D/K side share a common aisle. A-side aisle is more private, and easier to talk to a companion if you are going on the same flight. It has its own aisle, basically...
The most desired seat on the 744 is the 1A/K combo in the nose, as it is a very private seat for couples and you get there before the pilots do!
Hard products are the same between the two planes. One is slightly refreshed with a newer screen and different colors.

"77A/77D
1A, 1K, 2A and 2K are essentially the same seat. Similarly 1D and 2D are similar to each other.
Row 1 is obviously closer to the galley so may be slightly noisier during meal times. Note that although labelled “D” seats, the egress for suites 1D and 2D are actually on the right-hand aisle (i.e. the same aisle as 1K and 2K). This means that theoretically 1A and 2A should have less foot traffic. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that this is compensated for by cabin crew using the left-hand aisle when they need to access the forward galley."
