To be fair, we only have a sample size of 5 earth GLC members. And while no-one's permanently died, one did temporarily, and another was separated from his life for years due to becoming the host to two successive organisms (Parallax and the Spectre).
Bad stuff does happen to them.

My choice would be based on what actual level of power I had. Herald level? JLA/JSA. Anything below that, Avengers or X-Men.
If I was sub-herald level, I'd still want to be on a team with some big hitters, preferably a mix.
The JSA is good at keeping their less powerful members alive.
If I was a herald level, I think I'd be more likely to go with Avengers or X-men. Higher chance the foes I'll be facing are something I can take (if only in the sense of not running anyone who can kill me without sustained, intense effort).
Hmm, actually, I think my choice would also be dependent on the actual power I inherrently had. Like if my super power were something passive (like super intelligence, phasing, teleportation, healing factor, or super senses), I'd likely be a GL as the ring provides a wider power base to supplement my non-offensive base power.
If I had the typical brick package (class 100+ strength, high end durability/limited invulnerability), I'd probably join the JLA, JSA, X-Men or Avengers.
If I had something more exotic like Exodus+ level telekinesis, Maxima or Apocalypse's powerset, or maybe Magneto's or Proteus's powers, I'd join the Legion of Superheroes.

True, but I'm just assuming that we would be treated as a comic book character and not a real life superhero (as everyone else is doing, because otherwise, everyone can die at any point from the job),

Yea, but as a comic book character, I think there's safer paths 🙂
Lesse, Guy Garder got brain damage, had awakened alien DNA which later got ripped out... John Stewart got paralyzed for awhile... stuff keeps happening to people around Kyle...

if i was a herald, i'd expect to BE the heavy hitter. though having help wouldn't hurt i suppose. i'd want to match threats to my power level, but maybe i'm crazy...

Well, that's why I say if you're herald level, go Avengers, X-men, Outsiders, etc.. You're the team's heavy hitter then, rather than one of a couple.
