As said, DEN is slightly more junior on the 320, but I was fortunate to only have to commute for 2 months on the 737 before getting my DEN bid activated recently. Obviously things may change, but that is the most recent gouge.
Denver has changed a lot recently, but airline schedules and weekdays off work great for my wife and I. Recently drove back from a few days in the mountains on a Saturday. All of the ski parking lots were full at 9:30am and drove past what looked like about 3.5 hours worth of traffic. If you can find somewhere along I-70 it’s convenient for getting to the airport as well as up to the mountains.
