http://www.seatguru.com This site is great. You choose the airline, which make of plane and it tells you
Seat width
Pitch (Leg room)
Much more information too about seet choices. It would be a good idea to get seat desagnation when you took or pay for your tickets

I like to book a window seat on my longhaul (Auckland to LAX) because I know people won't be clamering over me to use the bathroom etc

Air New Zealand and not kidding and you get better air fare

Qantas and BA have the smallest amount of legroom, so definitely avoid them - it is usually around 31". I would recommend flying either with Air New Zealand or Malaysia Airlines who both have a seat pitch of 34", which is the best you can expect in economy. Both are very good airlines with nice food and good service.

You'll probably find that Malaysia Airlines are slightly cheaper - you can get some good prices through Travelbag who seem to have the most favourable contracts.

It depends on the plane they're using.

If you join United's Economy Plus, that section has 4" extra legroom.

See if you can get exit row seats, as they have more room in front (although they don't recline).

Use this site to find planes and their legroom:

It might be a good idea to approach the airline or its handling agent at the airport, and pay a small fee to sit where there is the most leg room ie. at the emergency exits on the wings.
Airlines sometimes will allow you to sit there if you pay the fee.
I work at the airport and avail of this from time to time.
Fees range from $40 + + +
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

It will be the location of seats on the air plane that will determine the leg room, advise you travel 1st class if you want to guarantee a roomier flight.

There's never enough leg room regardless of the airline or the airplane.

Fly business class and you'll be fine!

if you're not travelling first class then your best bet is to pick an airline that lets you select your seat online or thru your travel agent. then select your seats either in the first row or at bulkheads or near the toilets where there are no seats ahead of you.
take your earplugs - cause those areas are noisier - i.e. babies, toilets, galley, etc.

Not sure. I know El Al has the most nose room.
