IGU is the airport in Brazil.
IGR is the airport in Argentina.
I would recommend staying on the side you will depart from.
Plenty of comfortable hotels in Foz and resort type places along the road to the park.i don't like the idea of being isolated within the park and having to leave to eat, etc., or be dependent on just what the hotel provides. For me, that balances any few minutes more in the park.
It is not difficult to get around to both sides of the park by local public bus, or by taxi.
IGU is quite close to the park entrance on the Brazil side, probably about 45 minutes from the Argentine park, depending on traffic at the border station.
Reciprocity fee depends on which passport you hold iirc.
