They'll absolutely hire you, provided you are a viable candidate in all other respects. There are guys and gals hired at the Legacy carriers every single month in your age bracket, and the regionals are NOT in a position to be turning away candidates.
I'd pick the one that means no commuting (if possible), and if not, then the one with the best QOL (paid commuter hotels, schedule flexibility, etc). Once you've narrowed down to your top choices, go to airlinepilotcentral's regional forums and read up on what life is like at each carrier.
Be forewarned: regional flying is often called a "young person's game" because the schedules can be absolutely brutal. Like, completely reverse your body clock in a 3-day trip with 12+ legs of flying brutal.
