Both DEN and MDW are good bases to commute from MCI. MDW has a better hotel/crashpad situation than DEN IMHO. MDW you can walk to a crashpad in the same time it takes you in DEN just to get from the gate to the airport train station. Neither base is particularly senior, with some new hires getting MDW on their first bid.
ORD to MDW is either a $45-50 Uber ride or 1:40 on the train with a change in downtown. Southwest has decent service on that route so I doubt you'd need to get up to ORD much.
