There's no way to know unless you know what issues are going to come up in the future. In some areas, PA law may favor you, while in other areas, Cal law may favor you. You don't even know which side of the issue you will be on. For example, let's say that Cal. law enforces provisions that require the loser of a lawsuit to pay the winner's attorneys' fees, but PA doesn't. How can you know which one will be better for you in the future?
