Having flown DUB/CDG quite a bit over the last year, all the seats on EI's 320s are economy (blue/grey leather, quite comfortable). Rows 12 and 13 are the over wing exits (or is it 13 and 14?), so more leg room available but baggage and coats must be in the over head bins for those seats. Rows 1 through 15 may be a little quieter not being behind the engines, though that means you can hear the screaming kids better. The very end row seats will probably not recline as the wall is behind them. Other than that, I really can't see that any particular position is better than any other.
Personally, I prefer seats as far forward or as far back as possible - that way the trolley service gets to you first (if you care about that, & BTW, the Lyons tea isn't great, for the same €2 I'll get coffee next time) and less hassle getting to the toilet when the trolley service is on. Personally, I don't mind a little extra noise or people passing so I've never thought of that as an issue.
If you have short arms, the aisle or middle seat makes it a little easier to reach the overhead light and air blower thingy.
