Madison has a regional airport. I do lots of flying on both the Embraer and Canadair.
The Embraer is freakin tiny. I'm 5'10" and my head just about scrapes the ceiling as I walk down the aisle. Technically it has an exit row but there's no real increase in legroom. I would worry more about which side of the plane you sit on. I always try to get a seat on the side where there's just one seat per row. The seats are all tiny but at least that way you're not smushed up against some random person in the tiny ass seats with no room between them.
The Canadair is like a 5/6-scale 737. It's small but nowhere near as bad as the Embraer. If you have a choice between exit row and bulkhead go for exit row. The bulkhead seats have solid armrests that make you smuch your legs together, as opposed to just the armrests that can fold up and out of the way and they're just a small bar that you can put your leg under anyways.
Ideally among these choices I'd go for an aisle seat in the exit row of a Canadair. That'd be the most comfortable.

and the exit seat usually has more leg room, so i'd go with that one.

I almost always sit in the back because I like the feeling at take off of leaning way back. Chatty neighbors I block out usually with my MP3 player and I am working on the laptop or reading.

What is the nature of the question though, is it a safety concern?
