MCI and AUS both make sense than STL.
STL going from 16 RON a/c currently to 13-14 next year, meanwhile MCI increases from 15 to 16. AUS goes from 15 to 18 by next April.
STL airport authority is notoriously difficult to deal with (although so is MNAA and that didn’t stop the BNA base from opening)
AUS and MCI will have more RON a/c than ATL, BNA, LAX, and OAK.
SMF and SAN could easily work as bases, question is if the company wants to deal with California labor rules and regulations any more than they have to.
