Business class to MAD and MXP?

I'd like to gift a friend a C award from EZE to either MAD or MXP. RG flies from GRU to both airports and there's good availability for the desired dates (especially to MAD). The flight to MXP is an M-11 (ouch) and to MAD it's a 767 (correct me if I'm wrong). Any experiences will be welcome.

There are alternatives (i.e. LH), but availability seems scarcer and the routing is less direct.

TIA

For the transatlantic portion I'd choose TAP - flat seats in C all the way accross the Atlantic TAP has great seats in C and service is so-so.

RG C is so-so - not as good as the spacious seat UA has made us used to...

LH still has the old seats on this route which is kind of disappointing but the ervice is great and also the food is mostly very good.
If you choose TAP as iwillflytheworld was suggesting it then you will enhoy the seats because they are lie flat but the service is not very decent and also the food is still improvable!
But it also depends very much on how fast you want to get from A to B...
