Never been, plan to go via Spokane toward Banff in mid-June 2017. How would you divide your time betwee Banff, Jasper, and other suggested places? After that week, would be heading down to Glaci...

Lots of good recommendations about the Banff and Jasper National Parks here. You might also want to look at the campgrounds at Johnston Canyon and Two Jack Lakeside. There is a nice easy hike to some waterfalls at Johnston Canyon.
As far as the route to Glacier goes; do you have a reason to go through Calgary? If not, I would go through Kananaskis (hwy 40) and stop at Mount Kidd or any of the campgrounds in Peter Lougheed provincial park (Boulton Creek, Elkton, Interlakes). It's a really pretty area and the drive is a lot more scenic than going through Calgary.
From there, you can either go south on 22 to Waterton or jog over to highway 2 to Fort McLeod.
A really good place to stop before the Can/Us border is at the Lee Creek campground in Cardston. Cleanest washrooms we've ever seen at a campground.
