Yes, I do, and as Cecil said, most of us do ASA, and most of us also do other associations, too. I, for example, also call NFHS (MSHSL) and AFA.

We have some PA umpires here who may be able to address you location. How strong an organization is in the area will have a large impact on whether it is a "good choice." If the organization is strong, with lots of teams and games, with a good local umpire association handling the ASA games, then ASA is an excellent choice. The national ASA organization is well respected and generally well organized. Umpire training is excellent (most of the time).

However, if you are looking to escape local BS... well, that would be entirely a local problem. I guess it depends on what exactly is frustrating you about the LL program there.
