Several conversations going here but let me add to the Atlanta commute component. I used to commute atl-Iah and it was not an issue and now work for Envoy and commute to DFW. I've had one day that took 3 tries to get on. It's really pretty good. Get dropped off at the north terminal, door N7. KCM is a 2 min walk from the door and gate T10 is 100' from the KCM line.
But to not commute at all would be great! Living in base allows you to make more money also. Picking up overtime or 200% pay trips is convenient, something that's really hurts your quality of life if you commute.
I'd also say that with the amount of time you have left to fly, the flow is a consideration.
