There are threads in the DL forum describing and comparing these aircraft.

Plenty of discussion on DL forum (will alert mod) but the short answer is the A330 is better.
That being said if the A330 is inconvenient for whatever reason (tight connection, really long connection, etc.) the 764 is perfectly acceptable - especially if you can get a seat in Row 1 (extra space for your feet).

First of thank you and sorry for posting in the wrong section.
Actually I would be able to get the row 1 in B764 for the outbound leg. Does the more legroom apply for the window seats, middle seats or both?

I prefer A330 for sleeping, 767 for daytime. 767 has a better console area, but feels coffin-like for sleeping. The footwells for all of row 1 on a 767 are much more spacious than the rest of the rows which are very restrictive.

You will hear a lot of people complain about the 767 seats, but I actually think that the row 1 seats are quite nice. I like the large side tables, especially. If you are on the larger side (say 6'2"+ or over 230 lbs), I could see the bed being cramped, but for folks under that, I think the "coffin" criticisms are overstated. For non-row 1, I do think the footwell is tight, almost uncomfortably so.
In short, if you aren't a bigger person and can get row 1, I would choose on schedule, even though I think the A330 seat is better.

Just got back from a mileage upgrade to J on the 764, MXP-ATL. The missus and I sat in 1B-1C. We really enjoyed the trip. Also, and maybe this is because we started in Italy, but Delta's food on this particular flight was the best I can remember in some time.

As for food, it must be something about Italy catering. Our FCO - ATL flight home in C+ was the best Y catering I've had in years, easily better than any domestic F I've had the last few years (except maybe UA old PS/D1)
