Default Re: which seat?

Sorry, talking about a B&M live game only. I understand it's without a provable answer but worth speculating about.
Here are my thoughts about each seat. If you’re a good B&M player and don’t telegraph your moves then you can ignore your opponents ability to see you. Surprisingly seat 6 wins.


Seat #1)
Looking Left: A+ (The best view of the 3 players to the left. From this spot 3 seats are very easy to see with peripheral vision. Best view looking left tied with the 6 seat.)
Sight of Cards: A
Opp. ability to look left and see you: A+ (No players can see you)
View of Action: F (Tough to see action coming because dealer is in the way. This may cause errors like cold calling instead of 3-betting.)


Seat #2)
Looking Left: A- (Good view of 2 almost 3 players)
Sight of Cards: B
Opp. ability to look left and see you: A- (One player can easily see you)
View of Action: A+ (Best view of whole table, tied with 3, 8, 9.)


Seat #3)
Looking Left: B (Good view of two players)
Sight of Cards: B
Opp. ability to look left and see you: B (Two players can easily see you)
View of Action: A+ (Best view of whole table, tied with 2, 8, 9.)

Seat #4)
Looking Left: C (Can only see one or two players easily)
Sight of Cards: A
Opp. ability to look left and see you: F (Three players can easily see you.)
View of Action: A- (Decent view of table, little tough to see seat #6.)

Seat #5)
Looking Left: B (Ok view of 2 players)
Sight of Cards: A+
Opp. ability to look left and see you: B (Two players have good view of you with peripheral vision)
View of Action: A (Good view of table.)

Seat #6)
Looking Left: A (The best view of the 3 players to the left. From this spot 3 seats are very easy to see with peripheral vision. Best view looking left tied with the 1 seat.)
Sight of Cards: A
Opp. ability to look left and see you: A (One players has ok view of you with peripheral vision. One has poor view.)
View of Action: A- (Decent view of table, little tough to see seat #4.)

Seat #7)
Looking Left: B (Only two seats in immediate view.)
Sight of Cards: B
Opp. ability to look left and see you: B+ (Two players have ok view of you with peripheral vision.)
View of Action: A+ (Best view of whole table, tied with 3, 8, 9.)


Seat #8)
Looking Left: D (One seat in immediate view)
Sight of Cards: B
Opp. ability to look left and see you: B (Two players have good view of you with peripheral vision.)
View of Action: A+ (Best view of whole table, tied with 3, 8, 9.)

Seat #9)
Looking Left: F (Worst spot to look left.)
Sight of Cards: A
Opp. ability to look left and see you: F (Three players can see you easily.)
View of Action: C (Tough to see seat 1 and 2)
