Jelly Roll, the big problem of the Cherry Hill/Mt. Laurel jobs nexus is that it's in the middle of the largest gap between existing railroads. The best solution there is ultimately light rail.

I haven't really developed a workable ridership projection system, but my eyeballing is that with reasonable equipment and service the Ft. Dix and Millville lines should have the highest ridership, probably on a par with the West Trenton and Lansdale/Doylestown Lines across the Delaware, and the lowest ridership (at least in the commuter section) would come on the Salem Line. That line should still get okay overall ridership, on a par with the Norristown Line.

The legacy network feeds into Camden; once it's fully functional, it can be tied into the existing Regional Rail network for full regional coverage.
