Based on your experience, just wondering which route is easier to clear SWUs. MAI-EZE, DFW-EZE or JFK-EZE (vice versa)?

Please help! Thank you.
First, take everything I say with a grain of salt...That said, I would in general favor JFK over MIA or DFW, since JFK is less of a captive hub and probably has fewer EXPs trying to burn SWUs. Additionally, I would say in general your chances of clearing on a 77W are better than on a 772 since there are more J seats (although I’m not sure there are any 77Ws to EZE any more).
