New York airports: JFK or EWR for brief stopover

We are travelling with an 11 month old from MAN (manchester UK) to SFO and looking at a brief 1 night near airport hotel stopover so baby can get some sleep.
What would be best in terms of:
- airline quality for an infant (see below for airlines choice due to best flight times!),
- airport professionalism (bitter&twisted vs decent&efficient) so we can get through customs & baggage quickly
- quality of hotels surrounding airport.
We are looking at the following two options. Any other suggestions or comments appreciated!
- EWR (newark) airport hotel with flights on united airlines.
Or
- JFK airport hotel with flights on american airlines.
Many thanks!
