GLA-STN Twice daily
GLA-LTN Twice daily
GLA-LGW Thrice daily

British Airways
GLA-LGW Five flights
GLA-LHR Nine flights

I’m not a fan of BA’s new seats but if a fair comparison is to made, they should be measured against Easyjet’s new seats
Don't think your comment about Flexi fares is correct, those rules apply to flight transfers outside Flexi. Below are the T&Cs for U2 Flexi fares, they are unlimited on time changes within the window specified, and also allow route changes (though any difference in fare would apply for a route change)

9.2 “easyJet Flexi”

9.2.1 easyJet Flexi is available on all Flights, subject to limited availability per Flight.

9.2.2 If You buy an easyJet Flexi You will be able to make an unlimited number of free changes to the Flight time in Your original Booking, subject to the changed Flight time falling within a fixed 4 week time window (starting 1 week before the original travel date and ending 3 weeks after the original travel date).

9.2.3 You are also entitled to make an unlimited number of route changes (i.e. changes to the departure or destination airports of Your original Booking) to an easyJet Flexi Booking without payment of the flight change fee (set out in Our Fees and Charges), provided that:

(a) the changed Flight falls within a fixed 4 week time window (starting 1 week before the original travel date and ending 3 weeks after the original travel date); and

(b) You pay any difference between the original fare paid and the fare available for the changed Flight at the time the change is made. If the available fare is lower than the original fare paid, no refund will be made. Route changes for Flexi Bookings are not available on the Website. See Article 9.2.5 below for the ways that You can make a route change.

9.2.4 Changes to your easyJet Flexi Booking are subject to seat availability on alternative Flights. You must complete any change to Your easyJet Flexi Booking more than two hours before the scheduled departure time of Your original Booking and more than two hours before the scheduled departure time of the changed Flight (or more than one hour before the scheduled departure time of the original Flight and the changed Flight if you make the transfer by going to an easyJet airport Sales Desk or Customer Services Desk at the airport (if any)), otherwise You will forfeit Your ability to make a change. Changes cannot be made within the first 24 hours that follow the initial easyJet Flexi Booking.
Regarding the seats, haven't flown on U2's new seats, but from the pic they look like the legroom is better than BA.
