I know of no regional that offers a base before class. I think a couple allocate bases on the first day. At SkyWest, newhires usually find out the last part of ground school.
Basing also depends on seniority. The senior members of the class may get the base you want but if you are on the tail end, you will get what no one else wants. I have seen one case where the junior guy was the ONLY one to get his first choice because he wanted someplace like Yuma.
I believe American Eagle is guaranteeing bases for new hires, before they start training. NetJets gives you a base and aircraft type with the job offer, but they are not a regional.
Does it really matter what the reserve time is...you have 600 hrs and list C-152/C172 and PA-28 for airplanes flown... I wouldn't get picky about time on reserve flying a CRJ-700 or EMB-145.
Go for a prop (DFW, MIA, LAX, or SJU). Props have the shortest reserve. Eagle is hiring a crapload of people...or at least attempting to. If you pick DFW or LAX there's a possiblity that you could get a jet, though.
