On a somewhat related note, lets say you're going to a regional to get current, get 121 time, improve your resume, whatever the reason. From reading the forum, it seems that there are some regionals more highly regarded than others. If there was a regional based in your home town that was not as highly regarded as some of the others, would you advise applying there (probably I imagine) or should you go to one of the "better" ones that would require a commute?
