I'd run a traceroute to some well-known east and west coast
sites (www.nytimes.com and www.sfgate.com, as two examples) and take
a look at how those travel. Chances are you're going to be a lot
closer to the east coast in terms of hops from Chicago, not certain
about the Texas location (many head through KC then Denver to reach
the West coast, but it may be homed out of one of the east-coast
backbones like Virginia and New York.
You might also run those traceroutes against the major
service providers, like www.level3.net, global.mci.com (uunet),
www.qwest.net, and www.att.net. The closer you are to one of those,
perhaps choose the region that the provider is more heavily in?
