From a ground ops perspective the doors on Airbus are by far the best to operate. They are easier to open and due to the way the mechanism moves them to the right whilst keeping them tight to the aircraft body they are safer as they don't hang over the loading bridge, which can cause problems when the aircraft is being filled with fuel and can move down an inch or two on it's suspension (an expensive business if your not keeping your eye on it).
