first class seats if possible.
Look at the timing of the flight and consider your activities on your first day after you land - then decide which leg you want to stay up, and which leg you want to sleep on. Often makes things easier getting more rest on one of the legs rather than splitting it. Also consider when is best to sleep based on the change in time zones, to avoid jetlag.
No First on QF5.
Maybe I should have been clearer. Given that it looks like some first seats (but no F service), I'd pick those than the upper deck (which I'm doing on my MEL->LHR QF29 in a few week's time).
But normally I prefer the upper deck. Quieter (no passengers walking through all the time, especially on boarding) and I think you get more attentive service, as I think the ratios of FA to passengers is higher than on the main deck.

there will be a 8 degree downward slope which in my case makes me slip down the 'bed'.
For a first timer, the UD might feel more exclusive and give you that wow feel.

I think you will find that QF5 is operated by a 2 class 744 so as QF009 said
My partner recently flew (2 weeks ago) on QF6 (FRA->SIN), and was in the first class section, although it was a J service. If it has changed, it is only recently.
Also, from looking at the seating allocations, it looked like the first 4 rows were F seats - but I could be mistaken.
The configuration posted above is consistent with that - the front section with only row 4 having the middle seats is a 2 class config. For a configuration with F, rows 2 and 3 would also have E/F seats.

6 hours in FRA....
I would run the gauntlet and get a couple of new EU stamps in my passport...
Clear immigration, store my luggage at the airport storage - prices V reasonable, race downstairs and get the train into Frankfurt Main, out of the station and get a cab across the river to the Old Town, indulge in a great meal at one of the great restaurants available in the Old Town, get a cab back across the mine to the rail station, take your photo in the same spot as both Flashware and I have now done, out to the airport, get luggage, check onto flight, shower at the lounge and smile at the last 5 or so hours you have just had
thats what I would do....
