Flying via JFK vs MIA

if I want to fly LHR to GRU, am I better doing it via MIA or JFK?

I flew LHR-MIA-GRU earlier this year and it was ok, but out of four flights I had two plane changes to 777-200 pre-refurbs and the ePassport system took ages even with ESTA in place.

So is JFK easier than MIA?

If I wanted to leave bags at JFK and head into the city, where can I do that?
Considering arriving JFK at 7am from GRU and leaving at 9/10pm to LHR, so could have a full day in New York.

Thanks!!
(And yes it's for BA Tier Points that I want to fly 4 legs rather than 2)
