That said, you can often find good availability traveling at unpopular times. Think northern Europe in the dead of winter, Phoenix in the summer, international destinations over Thanksgiving...
Not sure I agree with PHX. Its a hub and in the middle of summer and the middle of winter not a bad hub to use. I'd consider using PHX owing to its weather benefits in contrast to, say, PHL or ORD.
