Not really sure they have a choice unless they buy new 763s. Above the 739ER/A321 (and ignoring the 763), the next biggest plane is the 788, and the next longest range is the 772. Can't see either of those being used domestically on a regular basis. The 787-3 would have been a good domestic plane (it was designed for Japan, but would have been a good option for busy/interhub routes).
