I-class sale - destination questions

OK,

I was hoping some of you fantastically helpful people could answer a few questions relating to some of the flights & destinations in the current I-class sale.

If I was to do these flights I'd probably (but not certainly) do them in a day - so taking the morning flight out (between 0830 - 1000) and the back to arrive mid-evening in London. I have no preference over flying from LGW or LHR but I am partial to going to 757s and 767s. So, for the following routes, the questions are:

1) Which route(s) tends to have the lowest load in CE? Coming back from CDG with 11 rows of CE it just felt like ET with better food. Would it make a difference if I went from/to LGW over LHR (with the whole 'leisure routes are all you get from there' thing)?

2) How easy is it to get from the airport into the city centre? If it's just getting on a train for one stop (a la GVA) then great, but if it involves messing about with buses and taxis then that's not so good...

3) Is the lounge at the destination any good? I'm not too fussed on food/drink but space and atmosphere is important - that's why CDG isn't on the list!

4) If I flew in ET one way and CE the other, which way in which class?

And the routes are:
LHR - PRG - LGW/LHR
LGW/LHR - BCN - LGW/LHR
LHR - TXL - LHR
LGW - BLQ - LGW
