If hypothetically one could reliably choose CW vs CS, would go by the following:

Solo – CS.

Couple- If night flight/rather not talk to/see each other then CS, and vice versa.

With kids – CW if kids under 7/8.

I was very pleased to be told by BA that this weekend’s CS flight has been switched to CW for just that reason.

I personally think that, despite the adulation of the travel press, BA has been backing the wrong horse with the latest iteration of seats, as both F and Club are becoming considerably less couple-friendly. There is seemingly a big swing away from business travel (which will probably never recover to pre-pandemic levels) toward premium leisure travel, and leisure travellers tend not to travel solo. Privacy is overrated if it stops you talking to your spouse or children, and BA may live to regret its CS design.

My wife is very clear that she would prefer to travel in PE on a daytime flight of up to ~9 hours than be isolated in a prison-like cubicle.
