I would much prefer playing in the Coastal.  The teams are weaker, the locations are overall easier for Syracuse fans to get to and I think there are more alums and expatriates in the Coastal locations overall.

Breakdown:

Clemson is tough to get to.  Few SU fans nearby.  Still cool place to visit.
Virginia Tech is tough to get to.  Few SU fans nearby.
Louisville is tough to get to.  Few SU fans nearby.
Florida State is tough to get to.  Few SU fans nearby.
NC State is easy to get to and has lots of SU fans nearby.  It is a push with Duke though.  Actually Duke is better because you can get better parking, tailgating and tickets there.
Wake is relatively easy to get to and has a relatively high number of SU fans nearby.  Not as convenient as Raleigh Durham but good.  Good tailgating and tickets available here as well (probably the best for any ACC away game).  This is a loss.

Georgia Tech is easy to get to.  Relatively many SU fans nearby.
Miami is easy to get to.  Lots of SU fans nearby.
Duke is easy to get to.  Lots of SU fans nearby.  Great place to go to an away game (see above).
UNC is easy to get to.  Lots of SU fans nearby.  I don't think tailgating and tickets are as good as Duke or Wake but at least comparably to NC State and the campus is a lot nicer.
Virginia is relatively easy to get to and has a relatively high number of SU fans nearby.  I think next to CNY and NYC, the DC metro area has the most SU alums.

Pitt and BC would be the same regardless.

Add in that the Coastal provides regular visits for away games to prime recruiting areas in South Florida, the DC metro area and Georgia and I think this is an absolute no brainer.
