A 3:30 hour drive will take less time than a 1 leg commute in almost every instance, although that is a long drive.
Personally, I would rather drive to base than to sit in my home airport for an hour, then fly for 45 mins, just to sit in base for 4 hours before my show time.
But, it is up to you. You can change your base bid pretty quickly, so you have some time to decide. Reserve time in CLT is falling. With 25 upgrades a month, it won't be long until reserve is just a few months.
