As a veteran of one east to west crossing via the trade winds, the best west to east routes are to the north, US - Bermuda - Azores - Europe. You have the benefit of the westerly winds and the Atlantic high. July is late to leave for a west to east crossing, the risk of hurricanes is increasing.

To sail across the Atlantic from west to east, the best way is to pickup the Gulf Stream along the East Coast of the United States south of Cape Cod and sail in the Gulf Stream with the current across the Atlantic to Northern Europe making landfall around England. Sailing with the current in the Gulf Stream usuallly increases boat speed and sailing would be in warmer waters as the waters in the Gulf Stream are generally warmer than surrounding waters in the north Atlantic.
