Horizon is probably the top regional to work for. Even their Q400’s are probably more equipped then other regional’s brand new 175’s. I believe they have CAT3 and HUDs. Probably a lot more variety of flying there too. They’re also wholly owned by Alaska. You are kind of crazy if you’d actually turn down Horizon just because of the Q400. That’s a badass machine to fly I’ve heard. I wouldn’t commute to LGA from west coast for Envoy or any regional unless I had literally no better option. There are other better options. SkyW, Horizon, Mesa (PHX base), TSA (Denver base). You can probably expect to lose 3-4 (if not more) of your 11-12 days off a month just from commuting.
