Its a bit easier to look at a few months of awards from the actual BES categories you're considering.That gives you a real world snapshot of what actual pilots are getting at various relative seniority snapshots. Look at the best award (to you) per page for a good overview.

Looking at actual bid packs is 100X the data to make sense out of and a great many trips only operate a single or few days that month. If you are looking for overnight locations, you can still see that on the monthly awards, write the trip number down and then search just those trips in the bid pack to see what they're about. Trying to look at entire bid packs is like looking for a needle in a dump truck full of needles.
