For me it can depend. If it's a decker - front seats upstairs. If they're taken, at the back upstairs, don't like the idea of sitting downstairs with the OAPs.
On a single decker, I tend to hit the front seats at the very front, not the 'reserved' ones for the OAPs. If they're taken, the back. Although in the past I have had a few looks from OAPs for sitting in those ones at the front. It's amazing how unnerving they can make you feel.
What about anyone else?
For me, it just depends what type of bus it is. I'm 6ft 3 and have canny long legs, so limited legroom is a common problem on buses, meaning I mainly go for areas that have decent legroom. For example, on the Gemini 2s, I tend to sit upstairs on the door side (is that the nearside? I always get them mixed up) as that, even though it sounds strange, has a bit more legroom compared to the driver's side.
On a Versa, it tends to be above the rear-wheel arch on the door side, or in the very back corner beside the emergency exit door, which has the most legroom.
An OmniCity tends to be in the areas what I like to call "the quadrant", where there's two seats facing forwards and two facing backwards. The same goes for Solars, Renowns and Citaros. Lolynes meanwhile is just anywhere upstairs.
