I too find EWR more civil. JFK is an awful welcome and goodbye to the city.
Ceteris paribus I’d go for EWR and public transport is not too bad. But downtown manhattan may not be the easiest to get. IIRC airport train takes you to midtown. Then you’ll have to change to metro. Not the easiest with a lot of luggage or kids in tow.
