If the winds/traffic are in a northwesterly flow (not the airline, the compass direction), they will use 35 and 4 for departures. Those could result in some relatively long taxi times. On the flipside, they'll be landing on 30R which should be relatively short for taxi time (unless you're headed to G22 or something...).
Of course, all the heavies (read A330/747) operations will likely use 4/22 solely.
