Besides the 1 year Seatlock of the 717 before AEing back to LAX , is there a faster way of getting back?
What is the best reserve strategy for not being used ? ….. 3 days on blocks?

You may be holding a line quicker than you think in ATL717B. There is a lot of movement senior to you off the seat with every AE, and little/no movement in (the only movement in has been DTW717B's.) It will continue to be a newhire seat, and lately has been one of the best seats in terms of newhire seniority progression, at least in ATL.
