The time different is about 30 minute more via train. However taking the subway during peak hour can be impossible with luggage. While I generally train out to JFK, I always take a taxi home. After a red-eye from West Coast, ease of access to home outways the cost savings. I agree, generally taking the subway + Air Train (total: $7.25) is cheaper then taxi ($35-$40).
