Do they all charge the same ramp fee?
Yes unless you buy gas, then they waive it

So one strategy would be to just buy some gas. Even if it's more
expensive than you usually pay, the delta on a few gallons would be lower
than a ramp fee.

JFK and MacArthur are the closest. Are they better to land at than FRG?

Not really. JFK will cost you about $100 in fees and KISP is the same as
KFRG in terms of fees with the added Class Charlie airspace procedures.

What are the added Class Charlie procedures? You need to call from a
little farther out. You need to change from Approach to Tower. You need
to call Clearance Delivery before you leave. And maybe you'll get vectors.

Not that there's any reason to prefer ISP, but avoiding it just because
it's inside class C airspace seems excessive.
