present and future progressive

Is there any difference in meaning between the two sentences?
Is there any preference in their use?
1) We are arriving at the airport in 10 minutes.
2) We'll be arriving at the airport in 10 minutes.

One more question.
Which one of the following sentences sounds the most natural?
3) We will soon be arriving at the airport.
4) We will be soon arriving at the airport.
3) We will be arriving at the airport soon.

Thank you for your help.
