Hi Nate,
Personally I would say this is all down to preference. 23ms sounds like a fantastic ping to play on - generally speaking, the lower your ping, the better your gameplay will be. If you're able to secure hosts with such a low ping easily then I would recommend keeping the Geo-Filter set up how you had it! Local servers aren't always the best ones, so don't worry if they are on mainland America.
Headquarters relies on dedicated servers rather than peer-to-peer, so with strict mode on it's likely that you're blocking servers necessary to connect. It likely forces the game to attempt to connect you to another server within your radius, eventually letting you join. I'm glad you can connect easily without strict mode enabled 🙂

Re: XR500 geofilter question
In that case you need to add your friends to the Allow list. Invite them into a private game (so their icons are the only ones on the Geo-Filter map). Then open their Ping panels and click 'Allow'. This will ensure that even when they are exluded from the radius they can still connect to you.
I hope this helps!
