If you're going to be on reserve, obviously you'd like to be within the callout time during rush hour (in a pinch you can prince$$ park at large airports which have a bus from the employee lot, that can save 30+ minutes).
For lineholders I'd say two hours drive is comfortable, three is doable, after that it becomes not fun and also will cause you to need hotels for very early shows and late finishes, especially for long, multi-leg regional days.
Also consider traffic conditions and report/release times (my drive is prone to traffic, but report/release tend to be early or late which is good for me).
