Default Fly Alaska or Lower 48

Hello everyone,
Currently am flying in the lower 48, flying PC12's and C208s for a part 135Airline, as a Captain. However, I could transfer back to Alaska from where I started with the company, and fly C208s and C207s as a captain.
I have many friends up in AK, and very few in the lower 48.
Pay is about the same, since it’s with in the same company.
My girlfriend is in AK, and the long distance relationship is taking its toll.
I will fly about 65ish a month in AK (VFR) and I fly about 85ish hrs. (VFR/IFR) a month in the lower 48.

I'm not sure which path I would like to take. I don't know what I want to do nor do I know what I should do? Career or being happy.

Career will move faster I think if I stay in the lower 48.
Career will still move forward just a little slower, if I go to AK.

Pay is about the same; in AK there is a safety bonus. Benefits are the same (same company)

I am just not sure where I should go… any Advise please.

Thanks
