If you book an onsite hotel, you will get the same benefits as far as airport transportation, 60 day Fastpasses, extra magic hours, and Magicbands. Doesn't matter if you book that room on their site, Hotwire, or any other travel site. Once you book, you'll link your hotel information to your My Disney Experience account and that'll give you the ability to make your Fastpasses, order your Magicbands, reserve Magical Express, etc.
I always book with whoever is cheapest but have not used Southwest (we are close so don't need the airfare)
