San Gab is going to be more reasonable cost of living wise, Clarita for scenery. All of them are AMR I suppose. If you haven't worked ETs before you'll probably start off IFT and float, pick up all the ET shifts you can and when bids come up (I honestly don't know how they run their shifts) you'll have a better chance of nabbing a perm post. Pay wise, here in OC $10.50 - $11.50 is pretty standard starting pay for an ET rig. It will probably be close to that in LA County, maybe a bit more. Good luck!
