To answer your question of which hat SHOULD he wear I voted for LA. He made his name there, had his best years there, and as a Dodger fan he was an idol of mine.
However, I think he WILL wear a NYM hat. For unknown to me reasons, he seems to embrace his NY years over his LA years in his retirement.

Unfortunately because of Carlton Fisk players no longer get to choose which hat to wear. That's why a guy like Leon Day who played 90% of his career with the Newark Eagles is wearing a Puerto Rican winter league cap instead of an Eagles one (I seriously doubt anyone at the Hall even knew what the hat represented anyway).
For those who don't remember, when Fisk was elected there was the question of whether he'd choose and Red Sox or White Sox cap. According to a few sportswriters I knew at the time, Fisk supposedly started a bidding war between Boston and Chicago - which ever city and team lavished him with more treats and goodies got the great honor of having that city's hat on his plaque. Chicago eventually tired of it and Boston won out. The Hall of Fame was pretty upset by the episode and after that no player was allowed to pick which team he was to represent.
