There are a number of sites that show you the way airlines cram in the seats. I tend to use Seat Guru but there are others.
I'm biased, but I think the 767 at seven across has one of the best coach experiences (2-4-2 on the 767 is rare).
Ditto on Seat Guru - I always check it when booking a flight. Even if you don't have a choice of aircraft, it tells you what seats to avoid.
