MSP-BOS will be your best bet, plenty of flights between JB, DL and Sun Country. Your only choice will be 190BOS
DFW-BOS is not as easy. We have 2, sometimes 1 flight a day, something they get cute and put an e190 on it. The flights schedules between AA and JB aren’t that great.
DEN-JFK... 1 redeye on JB, lot’s of commuters, LGA as backup.
DEN-BOS, 2 flights on JB, one redeye.
I feel DEN has lots of commuters to anywhere, and people living West of DEN tend to commute thru there a lot.

I did the DEN-BOS commute for 5.5 years. Between B6, SWA and UAL, I could probably count on one hand the number of times I didnt get on a flight, albeit a majority of offline was in the 737 jumpseat. And, if things ran on schedule, I never spent an extra night away from home as a result of not being able to get on a flight.
There are definitely a fair amount of DEN commuters, but outside of the length of the flight, and the time change, it wasn't a challenging commute.

Actually looking for advice from current pilots that commute these routes and how easy or hard it is. I don't need to see how many flights are between 2 airport codes. I've been to that site.....way too many ads and junk on the screen to really do much or navigate the pages.......not about to drop a monthly subscription on something so poorly designed that who knows what's on the other side of the billing screen.

Not sure what you are talking about with ads or subscriptions. I don’t have any. Good luck.

None of those stations are going to be easy for commuting as they’re fortress hubs for legacies. I’d choose DEN for QOL while home and because it’s easy to get between different airlines gates when plan A crumbles... FLL will have a good bit of jumpseat riding because Florida flights tend to be full. My bottom line is commuting has to be worth it. Mine sucks, bad, real bad, but when I get home and disconnect from all this airline stuff in BFE it’s worth it every time.
