You would be incorrect. There are lines with 16, 17, and a CDO line in DFW 145 with 19 off. Having said that, those obviously go extremely senior. DFW is the most senior so it would take the longest to get a preferred line there. ORD 175 would be the fastest route for someone hired today since it's a new base and will see a lot of movement for the next few months as it grows. LGA is a good option too in terms of getting days off based upon the fact that they seem to get the lines with the most days off out of any base. Also, guys bid out of LGA asap so there is also movement from that.

To the OP, if schedules and days off are your priorities, then I'd go to EDV. They have superior schedules and obviously superior pay.
