Default 777 IAD or EWR Reserve basing

Returning from an extended mil leave absence and need some advice on 777 flying from EWR and/or IAD. I plan on relocating the family to be within 2 hrs of either hub..we have family on the East Coast that we've been away from for a while. I think a Reserve lifestyle is probably something that will work, but I'm trying to figure out the upside/downside to each based on the Reserve/flying operation tangibiles. Relative seniority is about the same.

I have some decent inputs on IAD that make it sound good, but know nothing about EWR 777 ops. Also, IAD has a small 777 group...are there vulnerabilities with this HUB that I should be aware of? Upsides/downsides from any experienced 777 from these domiciles would be a great help.

We're pretty familiar with living in both locations...traffic sucks, aggressive drivers, taxes...but at least there is some escape within 2 hrs of these bases....so keep opinions based on 777 operations. Thanks
