BUR is just plain closer to TO (my parents live 5 minutes over the hill in Camarillo) and also easier to deal with. Normally, however, the traffic would be in the other direction, so it should not be THAT bad to LAX. Also, you can always take PCH (Highway 1) if traffic reports are bad. From Ventura County, it is almost as fast (get there through Malibu Canyon) anyway, and if there is traffic on the 405, it is amazing.
