My 2 cents: I'm lazy and would want to go through training as few times as possible. So I'd pick ER if able, even NYC. The ER gives you much flexibility on either coast in due time. And with your training in the spring, you just might be surprised as they man for the summer. I wouldn't move right away if your goal is to be out West. Let the first year shake out and see how our growth changes your options.
