I fish both reservoirs regularly, although I havent been for a few months. I launch my boat and have never been required to decon. They will give you a bath if you want one at Sand Hollow State Park. In 2010, there was 1 live quagga mussel found and declared infested. Better to be safe than sorry. In 2014 it was declared mussel free. Unless I've missed some recent news, it is still clean water. The park website states you dont need to decon.

Bass fishing will definitely be faster at Sand Hollow than Quail. Quail holds trout which you won't find at Sand Hollow. From what I hear, Gunlock has been picking up and thats where I'll be headed first to avoid the crowds. Sand Hollow is generally the most crowded with water sports enthusiasts. It can also get pretty windy.
I would go with your original plan of several places and try them all if you have the time. Be aware that we have had an unusually high amount if moisture so rivers, streams, inlets are running fast and muddy.
I ran into someone the other day that had fished Newcastle. They put in some hours but did land 1 nice wiper. I think typically, as suggested, they will turn on a little more as it warms up.
