I recommend JFK, followed by EWR.  JFK has AirTrain access to the subway 
(E, J, Z lines at Jamaica, A line at Howard Beach).  EWR has AirTrain 
access to NJTransit - the AirTrain fare is $5, subway is $2, NJT will 
run about $14 to NYPenn which is at 33rd and 6th (all prices per 
person).  Cab from LGA will run about $25 plus toll / tip and take just 
as long - and if you're not prepared for a roller coaster on city roads, 
no guiderails, and oncoming traffic, you're not prepared for some cab 
drivers.  :)

Plus, JFK is (IMHO) cleaner and in better shape than EWR or LGA - at 
least for the AA terminals, which is all I fly.
