I pretty much do EB always, saves me the trouble of remembering that 24 hour checkin time.

If you buy early bird and rebook, you get booted back to the end of the early bird line. Early bird is assigned in chronological order so the earlier you buy early bird, the better your seat number. If you buy early bird 5 months in advance, you might get A22, but if you rebook that same flight two weeks before the travel date, you might get B18.
My advice when buying SWA fights is to always book individual legs and not a roundtrip. The price is the same and it's easier to rebook. Also we now book separate flights for each of us, just gives you most flexibility if something comes up. Only drawback is you have 4 confirmation numbers to keep track of for two people.

If you log into your SWA account and click on the flight, you'll see 'change'. Click on that, select that flight and then you'll rebook the exact same flight. You'll see what the credit amount will be and you can abort the whole process anytime until you hit the 'are you sure you want to make these changes?' prompt.
BTW- your credit is tied to your confirmation number, you might need it when you want to use the credit. Keep track of it.

I know it seems like a waste, but I stopped paying for EB and started just upgrading my boarding position at the gate for A1-15. It's $30 which is a lot, but for someone like me who is mildly picky about where he sits on the plane and have anxiety with flying, its well worth the price, especially since all EB ever got me was maybe FAR into the A or early B group.
