Having spent time working on our boats in NC, FL and the PNW (Lake Union/Ballard), I'd pick the PNW. The Lake Union/Ballard area has all the resources that support the Alaskan commercial fishing fleet. If you have to remove the PH to move it, do the work when you reattach at the other end. Lake Union/Ballard will have any miscellaneous parts you'll need there and you have many choices of tradesman within one trade. As with anywhere else there are good ones and not so good ones.
