I'd just be interested if there is a source that lists some common CW bases for lie algebras of $SU(N),\,SO(N), Sp(N)$ etc. with roots and weights etc. (I know it's not hard to calculate them by hand, but it's neither fun nor particularly instructive)

This can be found in lecture notes on Lie algebras, e.g., in section $8$, i.e., in particular in $8.1.2$ on page $58$ of these lecture notes by Harold Steinacker in terms of root vectors $X_{\alpha},Y_{\alpha},H_{\alpha}$. Also Serre's Theorem gives the explicit Lie brackets for $L$ associated to the root system with a common basis:
