Thursday October 2/14 they had a couple of Jeep Cherokees, a Sonata, several 2015 Altimas, and several Taurus on the EA.
It was annoying that when my flight landed at 11:30 I had received an email that all I needed to do was head to the Aisle to select my vehicle. The walk from the gate to the lot took about 15-20 minutes and by then the booth had been shut down. I went inside and noted that their big green sign was out telling Emerald members to go straight to the lot. However, when I asked the agent what was up with the Aisle service he said that they closed at midnight (it was 11:55 at this point). I'm fine with that, but would have preferred the email told me what the hours of the Aisle were and that they took down their sign in the rental desk area to avoid confusion.
Having said that, the agent listed all the vehicles they had and let me choose whichever I wanted (from the so-so selection, lol). It's still a good location overall.

I've been to YUL before but have always left the airport via either taxi or colleague picking me up.
Where is the National location at YUL? Is it walking distance to the terminal or is there a shuttle involved?

It's in a parking garage across from the terminal building. About a 5 minute walk from either the U.S. or international/domestic arrivals section. I imagine that's one cold walk in the winter.

Friday, 1/16 2PM
EA/ES
All FCARs except for 2 Wrangler Sahara 4-door hard tops and a base Nissan Xterra. One of the Wranglers had expired tags so I passed, and another renter beat me to the other one.
Nicest FCAR was a Malibu LT w/Leather. Otherwise it was choose your Altima or Sonata.
Asked for (and received) a 2014 Ford Edge SEL AWD from the Enterprise side. It is well equipped with giant 20" Sport wheels, heated seats and a panoramic roof.
Friday, 1/16, 7PM
Back to pick up car #2 and the rest of my group. Mostly FCARs again but slightly better selection. Highlight was a 2015 Dodge Charger SXT with under 500 kms. Other notables included a 2014 Mazda CX-9 with some body damage and a few Jeep Cherokees (Latitude trim). Was also offered a Buick LaCrosse.
Asked for (and received) 2014 Chevrolet Traverse AWD from Alamo side. Base LS trim but for hauling around 5 people with baggage it's perfect.. Even has a backup camera standard.

May 4/15 at approx 6:15 pm:
ES: all SUVs, a mix of GMC Acadia, Chevy Traverse, Nissan Pathfinder, and Kia (whatever the big Kia is)
EA: a bunch of sedans. I didnt look specifically but seemed to be Fords and one Charger
One of the staff asked if I was finding what I needed and told me I could get a nicer sedan for $25 daily up charge, Infiniti, etc., in his words. He told me some days the ES was mostly SUVs and others nicer sedans, convertibles and so on, depending on demand.
Staff are super friendly at this location.
