Do I remember correctly that your end points are SF, CA and Yorktown, VA? If so given a June 15th departure W-E is the only way that makes sense. You don't want to be in the desert on the Western Express or similar route in August. Prevailing winds are not as significant a factor as where you are when it is hottest. You will have plenty of headwinds either way, for your route winds are likely to be a wash. For the TA they are likely to slightly favor E-W.
