I don't fly for either but with what's going on with ASA I'd choose Republic. ASA's not growing and if they do it's down the road a ways with a few obstacles in their way. Looks like RAH is at the beginning stages of gearing up for their growth so going there would net you seniority relatively quickly. QOL is key but seniority greatly improves any QOL you might expect. Seniority can determine days off, weekends off, holidays off, efficiency of trip, commutable or not and many others.
My advice is to take the seniority (RAH) but remember every changes and nothing's a sure fire bet.

The real question is where are you from? Stay close to home or live at home if you can. Living with family saved my but on probation.
Go to Tran States and get your CRJ checkout & then go to RAH and cash in on the $2,500 signing bonus for having a CRJ type.
I enjoy working at ASA. The ATR flying is good anyway.
ASA's suffering from heavy attrition and we're growing by two or four 700s. However the last transfer of 700s from comair is being delayed a few months until we can hire enough pilots.
Rumor has it that the upgrade time is around 2 years now. *Shrugs*
Good luck
