Appreciate the clarification!
Hub to hub on mainline is usually the worst commute you can do, aside from 2-leg commutes across the country. I did SFO-ORD and the word 'nightmare' doesn't begin to describe it.

To be honest I've considered other options to let me live on base or very close. Houston doesn't seem to have lots of great options for incoming FOs.

Any opinions on what your major considerations/choices would be if you were back in my position?

It's perfectly affordable. Especially now now that first year pay is 36.50

While I and everyone else here agree, it's the cold hard truth.
