I think citation is also important. That means speed is
important. The earlier you get published, the more
citation you got.

If that PNAS paper is from a competing group, definitely
move fast. In a hot area, speed is evry important. There
are good papers in JBC which have been cited many times.

if your boss is member of NAS, or he knows NAS members,
then you may consider PNAS (Track I or track III).

My boss usually try a high journal first, if rejected,
he will go to JBC directly. He said, the most important
thing is to cover the field; so, if you publish anything
that is new, many people will cite your work, and you
will have impact in this field.
