I was reading a magazine and came across Seatguru.com. This website has documentation on seat configurations for most airlines in the world, for all the different jets they fly and the different configurations.
I took a look and found that it was very informative, but not in the manner described in the article I was reading. Basically the article pointed out, correctly, that you could use the information from this site to figure out where you are going to be seated and perhaps ask for a better seat.
Frankly, any seat in most jets are terrible. The best seats I've ever experienced were on Singapore Airlines in First Class, and that's far from normal.
The information that I find useful has to do with power ports. I've found that there are three types of ports available on jets - cigarette lighter ports, EmPower and regular US 110 Volt sockets.
The last one is the best, and many airlines are beginning to offer them. However, the next best is the cigarette lighter style as there are many inexpensive adapters available. The EmPower adapter is the worst as the airline never has the cables required to use it, and buying one at the shop can be expensive with limited choices.
At the end of the day, I've found that the best thing to do on a flight is to sit back, relax and go to sleep.

Virgin Atlantic has decent coach seats, so does Cathay.
Most of the American carriers are stingy with space.
