You do realise that around this time of year, airport operations throughout Europe can come to a stillstand at very short notice? It just takes some fog and snow to delay your flights. They may even get cancelled and you may be rebooked only a couple days later (due to insufficient availability). Factor that into your travel plans.

There's no better/worse per se.

That depends on the airlines involved but expect to have recheck them. Bear in mind that rechecking requires you to clear customs (I'm not talking about immigration at this point) and declare anything you're bringing into the country where you recheck your bags.
What transit time are you currently planning with? Remember that on the way back your airline will very likely ask you to be at the airport at least 2 to 3 hours prior to your flight to the US.
