I think for what you are discussing the MD88 in NYC is the best choice with the current options. I would however consider the 717. The next 717 base to open is supposed to be NYC. If it picks up the shuttle as rumored you could have a great quality of life flying it and living in DC. Nothing like layovers at home!
