What is Best Seat?
Recent doco showed B727 with nose fold over on crash landing in semi-controlled crash in desert.
F/C... no hope
But ...it was controlled crash landing
I will stick with back row though

I reckon that landing was far from controlled. If you've got a conscious pilot aboard it would have gone a lot differently!
In my opinion that demo is probably more representative of someone untrained trying to land without guidance by letting go of the yoke and sticking it on the nose-wheel after chopping the power at 50ft.

Best seat?
Full flat bed in First or Business, with a Bloody Mary and a good movie. Trying to work the odds to survive a plane crash is a mug's game. I'd rather go down in comfort.
Near a toilet, but by a window, plenty of leg room, easy to get to the aisle for swift exit, over the wing but at the front, by a top lass & near a sympathetic cabin crew who will keep your glass topped up. Away from children, tourists, drunks, the boorish & the bores.
I have never found this seat.

I think the O/P was asking about safest seat, rather than that which is the best in the rare even that the aircraft makes it safely to destination. 
If that was the question, I think that the historical evidence points to being in the last few rows of Y. But, for the most part, you have to watch the aircraft coming down and then walk down what is left of the aisle to see who is alive. Then yank them out of it and get buckled in.
