a) i want our 2hr commute into shortcall back, that we lost in the recent LOA
b) I want to be able to bank all of the positive space deadhead deviations that I dont use (like if i finish a rsv trip in sayyyy STL, and take SWA straight back to MCO instead of using the company dhd to ATL)

I'm a commuter, and I understand your position. Personally, I wouldn't argue for that one either.
But the first one (a), I would hope has support from non-commuters as well. Why we lost this from our PWA I don't know. For me, if I'm commuting to reserve I'm not going to be available any sooner than 2 hours after my SC starts anyway. I hope this gets put forth (even though I'm no longer doing reserve). It helps those who are junior in category and can save pilots some money and time away from family without harming anyone.
