In that case you get a seat sub and the PC format to make it legal.

401k: transition to AS system happens at new years. There are several low cost funds (maybe 4-5 but the basics are covered). The only real index fund is S&P 500 (but I could be missing something). There were a couple of vanguard funds in the VX 401k we'll lose that I will miss, but the AS 401k has similar-cost replacements. I have not yet looked in depth to see how they compare.
LCR: LCR is call first; you will get used more. When I did LCR, I would send an email the day before my reserve block and express interest in a particular pairing (if more than 1 were in OT). They always gave me my first pick. Maybe I was just lucky. If there is nothing in OT they could convert you to SCR, so its not a guaranteed way to stay at home. Mostly it will depend on what kind of open time is out there. This was VX scheduling, I don't know how AS is.
