I guess it depends. If you want direct JFK- West Coast flights, you can choose between American, United, Continental and Jetblue all of which i know have non-stops. It also depends if you want to fly based on price or based on perks. If its price, then Jetblue may ne the best call. If its perks or elite status, etc, then American or United is good. US Air and Delta are good if you are flying non-stop to the east coast and south.

If you are coming from Manhattan, then EWR is just about the same distance (it is considered a NYC airport and it is run by the Port Authority). You can catch buses or even the train to get there.
From EWR, the Continental has a very large base and offers many non-stops. So, if you join Continental's OnePass, you can then have not only choices from EWR, but you can also fly Delta & NorthWest from the other NYC hubs and earn elite miles from them too on OnePass.

That would totally depend on where you are going as to which airline has the most flights. There isn't a lot of overlap in destinations.
Remember, every flight leaving any of the three New York airports is a direct flight, maybe not to someplace you want to go, but it's a direct flight.
