I am almost 90% sure a San Diego location would be at Montgomery Field. I can't see Gillespie, but maybe. Definitely not Brown as it is way too far away from everything, although costs would be low down there. Montgomery has the only ILS in town. (you're not going to get a practice approach to SAN unless it's 2am). I would think that operating cost's at CRQ would be extremely high as well as you start to get pretty close to the RIV location. One thing about opening SoCal locations is that they already have MX at RIV so a San Diego location can fly planes to RIV for MX. This make sense to add additional locations in areas with a large population while ATP's focus has shifted somewhat to privates and add-on ratings. For these ratings people want to stay in their "hometown", instead of having to travel and stay in apartments.
