Haven't done it for a while, but I used to go for 80A, where there was no seat in front and you don't have those annoying people that hang around near the exit stepping on your feet!
Personally I find row 32 to be very cramped - yes it has more knee room which is nice at first, but the bulkhead prevents you from being able to extend your legs (whereas in a standard seat you can extend them under the seat in front to some extent) so within an hour or so I find it becomes very uncomfortable.
Row 49 better than row 48 due to not having a fixed armrest allowing you to use the seat next to you if not taken.
Row 32 has limited legroom and can become uncomfortable on a long haul trip. If you prefer upstairs (while eco is still up there), go for row 33 as it has more legroom than row 32 and a movable armrest, which the exit rows don’t have.

Hi, I'm tossing up between 48A/B or 32A/B on an upcoming Qantas A380 flights in Economy.

I do row 32 as I like the side bin to put all me stuff. I also agree with some of the cons above though.
