Clipper,
Don't know anything about them other than they fly Cessna 207's. I've never flown out in Western AK.
Daily wage in my experience is the way to go rather than hourly. You're gonna probably be working a 14 hr duty day during long daylight hours, or close to it. It's pretty lame to be working all hourly flight pay on super crummy weather days and making little to no money.
Hopefully some western AK pilots will chime in. Things that I'd be interested in regarding them would be their safety record, mx, if their a/c are equipped with the Capstone avionics system, schedule (2 weeks on/off?), jumpseating priveliges, housing, and possibility for winter work too.
Good luck.
Stay safe whatever you end up doing.
