Scenario:

Let's say a lineholder is awarded a GS that transitions into a bid period where he is on RES. Would it be better for the first few days of the RES month to be X-days or RES days? As I understand it a GS that interrupts X-days (even in the following bid period) would trigger above-guarantee pay and PB days. Am I incorrect here?

you are correct. You’d like to spill into X days if possible. Otherwise, it would be block (and any accumulated last-day credit) toward guarantee.

There are only a very small handful of circumstances where working a GS into on call days is to your benefit.

Don't hold out on us! The only time I know of is if you're on LC and take a GS with less than 12 hours to report, any other situations?

The GS that falls on the on call days would be credit toward the RES Guarantee for the month, which could help you attain FULL status, which would give you the rest of the month off…useful in holiday months where you wanted the holiday off but couldn’t hold it based on your juniority.

Starting a month of rolling thunder. It may not be ideal, but you gotta start it somewhere.

Everyone else pretty much covered it. Trying to fill up early in a holiday month is the most common one. I guess hypothetically if you had a trip that was all hard time (no credit dump on the last day) and the last day of the trip fell on an on call day but had very low block that last day that would simply lessen the damage. That's very rare though as most trips carry a decent amount of credit which is only going to count towards your RES guarantee.

Not all credit is paid on the last day. As an example, trip credit is but DH credit is paid on the day of the DH.
