Where are you commuting from? Is one drivable? Are you within 1:15 or so of an airport? How experienced are you? Do you know Atlas will buy you a ticket? If you’re flying anyway, and you don’t have to worry about traditional commuting, do you care where you’re based so long as it’s within a couple hours and one leg?
At any rate, the lines that pay the best in TPA are typically reserve lines. The lines that pay the best in Miami on the 777 usually pay significantly better and involve more block hours, but you’ll fly augmented on long legs and probably fight for landings to keep current. I think TPA 767 would make a lot of sense if you can sit R2 (1:30 callout) from your house, and don’t mind making the trek to the airport for R3 (airport reserve).
Miami would be better if you’re going to fly to work, but CVG is pretty easy to get to from the East coast and junior to both on those airframes.
