I’m not sure which Regional would be best as whatever major they bleed into is a huge consideration also for the same considerations.
What benefits you have at the regional level shouldn't have any bearing on the majors. Once you go to them they will all be pretty competitive with each other and you are making more money, so you have more options available.
I certainly wouldn't pick a regional solely on who they are affiliated with at the major level in terms of the health insurance offered.
