If you are commuting to DCA, plan on trying to fly into DCA. You could find ground transportation from the other two, but it would be painful.
I can't speak to BWI, but getting between IAD and DCA via ground transportation is pretty easy. From DCA take the Metro to the Wiehle-Renton East Metro station, and a $5 ride on a dedicated shuttle bus gets you to the curb at Dulles. 60-90 minutes.
In a few years the Metro will go all the way to IAD.
