A little dated, but PACOM=good, PACFLT (or whatever it's called now)="busy" and that might mean not good. I think I have those in the right order. For pre-DH jobs, PACFLT was the more competitive place to go. For you (and now), I'm not sure.

Between my first tour and retiring, it seems like there has been a conscious effort to try and push people to take the "tougher" jobs prior to learning board results to discourage folks from dropping the pack.

Because if you knew you were a terminal LCDR or Non-Command Terminal CDR..
Save a couple "special" joint commands, would you really want to do it if it made no difference in your future, if you had a choice to take a tour that set you up better for the "real world"?

I have no experience with the Hawaii staff tours, but living in Hawaii makes up for a whole lot, to include a shitty job. And everyone here is happier than their counterparts in other places, which has its benefits.
My whole career goal has shifted to "find a way to get another set of orders in Hawaii."
Well, I have no personal experience working on a staff, but of the people I've talked to, some have enjoyed it and others were miserable. The way I look at it, we need talented people to do staff work just as much as we need talented aviators and ship drivers. They're all important cogs in the machine.

A some point, you've got to realize that there's more to this war-fighting business than just a bunch of squadrons, ships and subs. Yeah, I'd say it's pretty tasty.The Kool-Aid that good?
