Personally I like the Westjet 9:30 AM departure. A bit busier with security (I use the Westjet mastercard for priority line if needed), and I get to sleep to a regular time.
But really, if I'm going to socal SNA is by far my first choice. If you think YYC is bad at during the rush LAX is a special kind of hell pretty much all the time.
And I'm pretty far from a westjet apologist - was AC elite for a long time, but they've basically given up here so the additional inconvenience/connections that would require isn't worth it to me any more.
Given the amount of basic/westjet dollars flights I book I'll never get WS status, but that doesn't matter because it isn't very good anyway. Free bags/priority security line/internet with the credit card covers most of it, and traveling with kids you get free seat selection anyway even on basic. So I just book whoever is cheapest/most convenient for an individual trip. Last couple of years that has almost always been westjet, with the occasional AC/flair/delta mixed in.
