I find the FT and The Telegraph the best as they have kept the broadsheet format and the paper has good attenuating properties. There's normally something interesting to read, too.

Airbus definitely win this battle - the difference between what is provided by them vs. Boeing is like night and day.

...may lead to overheating of the window...
Possible but a) they're thermostatically controlled and b) are designed to work in ambient temperatures over a range of at least -50C to +50C. The only failures I've heard of with heated windows are short circuits (arcing) or controller units sticking on or off.
