There is nothing "better" or "worse" at this point because any schedule more than 30 days out is entirely notional. In addition, there is no way to predict what entry (or transit) requirements there might be for transit or stopover points.

If, on the other hand, your trip is soon, you could look at NYC (which includes EWR) and then run various routings and look at TIMATIC to determine documentation & admissibility requirements based on your citizenship & residence.
