I wasn't a fan of the ASM suit, but it grew on me. Even so, my biggest problem with the ASM suit is that instead of looking like an original design, like Peter Parker was supposed to come up with, it looked like a variation on someone else's design, with a bunch of needless changes breaking up the flow of the original. I realize it's hard not to see it that way when you know that an original design exists (but obviously is not supposed to exist in the reality of ASM), but it really does look like a bunch of alterations were made to a simpler design just for the sake of changes. Could Peter have gone through several designs, altering his own, original design? Yes, and I also realize the original costume design might not make sense if it were designed today as opposed to back in 1963, but I still stick with my feeling that it had the feel of a design based on someone else's design.
About Spider-man's eye size, I feel like the size of the eyes actually started getting bigger before McFarlane, and it stemmed from the black/symbiote suit having larger white eyes, which it needed to have, since the suit was black and it couldn't have the black borders to define it like on the original red & blue suit. There was the period where Peter was alternating between the red & blue suit and the non-symbiote, cloth version of the black suit, and I think the artists just started making the white part of the eyes bigger on the red & blue suit because they liked it from the black suit.
