I work at Mesa, one of the lowest pay and worst contracts right now of all the regionals. But we are adequately staffed (actually fat FOs) and the company doesn't mess with us like at some other companies. Also we have no 50 seaters to get parked. Great pilot group.
Pick a regional you don't have to commute to. I live in PHX which is why I chose Mesa. Commuting to reserve at a regional is awful. If you can guard/reserve bum to offset the pay that's a great deal.
Where do you plan on living?
