There is some sex appeal with number 2, but I am concerned about the perception of how they treat their employees. I've had a few people tell me to avoid company 2 if at all possible, while i've heard nothing but praise and accolades from people involved with company 1.

Done. Thats all I would need.
I am currently underpaid by a fairly large amount and I don't care because i love where i work.

I agree, but it doesn't sound like that is an issue with these positions.
^point 1 here is key, but may be hard to ascertain and may even be irrelevant for these jobs where you are essentially on an island and don't have a micromanaging boss or toxic co-workers/bad environment.
point three would be true but he's not stuck in a computer all day he is driving to locations, which breaks up the monotony. Even he weren't driving and whatnot, my way around the "cabin fever" is to log-in to work from hotels in Las Vegas during the day and then let it all hang out after midnight
WFH is the best perk ever. Especially if you do have an option to go to an office when you want.

Yeah, if it's either/or that's pretty killer. I'd travel around to wherever I could travel to super cheaply and just work all over. Not really an option in OP's case though.

If either role was 100% virtual, that would be epic. The biggest perk of option 1 is that i can skip lunch (as i often bring a sammich and eat while getting gas or whatever), and be home by 2-3 which allows more time to do other things that I want to do.

Agreed.
This is huge, IMO. Word of mouth from people who know each company is valuable info. Also, I worked for a railroad some years ago and I would NOT EVER do so again, fwiw.
This is also huge. How many of us who work 8-5+ find that we have to cram all of our chores/errands, etc into the weekend because we just don't have time during the week to get shit done, which basically ruins the weekend? Having personal time during the week to take care of things like that will vastly improve your quality of life/leisure time. Again, imho.
