I do not fly to Beijing that often, so cannot really offer best airline choices. However, I would stick to well known airlines known for good customer service. But one piece of advice is to try to get to the “international transfer area” as quickly as possible if you have a connection. We were one of the first and still waited almost 2 hours to get through. The process is very laborious and extremely slow.
