I asked the same question and those wiser than me on this forum suggested taking the one where you could live in base, or the one with the easiest commute. They were correct. I am currently on reserve sitting at home with a 2 hour call out starting at 9 a.m. this morning. I woke up with my wife next to me, I washed my truck, I am about to take my washer to get fixed, then will go in to MY kitchen to prepare lunch. After that, I am going to file some bills, get my tax stuff together, and take my wife to a movie, assuming I don't get a call. I couldn't have done any of this commuting, and I am happy with my decision.
By the way, FlyBy1206 will give you the most informative, least biased information of just about anyone on this forum, so pay attention to him (at least I think he's a him).
This is great advice. However, based on the fact that bases open and close all the time, pick the one where the worst case commuting scenario would be OK. Example, XJT had an IAH base forever, and because of the massive cuts to that base, people that were once driving to work are now commuting.
