Plus treat driving to RR as you are going into a regular 9-5 job...... But only where you have to do it for a few times a month (10-11 isn’t bad compare to our M-F 9-5 counterparts).
So to me, your decision is simple. Don’t commute.
Keep in mind, there are more opportunities for open time in base as well.
That’s just me. But I live in base for the airline I work for....

A crashpad is less than 300 a month. Ymmv but 3600 a year and having a line with the days off we get and block or better is no contest to me. Get a crashpad, take the better bid, and if you really feel bad pick up a 4 day at 150 with you 18 off once a year.
