JFK can be easier, but it's a relative term in New York since none of the airports are trouble-free. For domestic flights, LaGuardia can be a tad easier, from a flight perspective, and it's closer to Manhattan. Newark can have terribe delays, and getting across the river from New Jersey can be a major hassle some days.
The double-decker tour is great as are some of the water tours that give you a perspective on the city, and there are several routes available, so you can pick which loop you'd like to take on a given day. There are also tours available via water and some walking tours that give an excellent in-depth view of particular neighborhoods.
Be sure to look for the current Matilda in the Algonquin, since she's an award winner.
One of the doubledecker tour operators has a downtown loop, an uptown loop, and a Brooklyn loop. I've done the downtown one and even as a New Yorker going along with an out of town relative visiting the city, I enjoyed the tour.

It's going to be either JFK or Newark, if they're coming from Oz. It's usually a flight that leaves from Australia, then customs are cleared during the stop in LA. From there, there's really little option of going to LaGuardia, since it doesn't accommodate such big jets.
Water tours are limited during the winter, but the Staten Island ferry is free (although you should bring warm clothing!). There are also various walking tours of some of the more classic neighborhoods - just check online for walking tours of NYC.

I actually live in NC, so its going to be JFK or LaGuardia that we arrive in.
Then I'd vote for LaGuardia, taking into consideration it's more likely to have issue with weather-related delays.
