Sentai have used West Coast studios before, so i wouldn't count them out. Its more likely to be them or Viz than FUNimation, since they only use other studios when theres other factors (keeping an established cast or due to the Japanese companies handling the dub).

I am aware that Sentai has used West Coast studios for dubs before, but I've thought they've only done so for rather special cases, like reprising cast members in an anime from some already-adapted IP. (Persona 4: The Animation comes to mind, with Sentai using the original game's English voice actors.) With no English dub precedent other than that old OVA full of a bunch of unknown VAs, I'd think it most likely for Sentai to dub in Houston. And this isn't even considering yet how Jojo would likely be too long and too costly a series for Sentai to handle!

And omnibuses of YU GI OH (for which I only care about the first part mainly)

Same. Well depends on what you mean by first part. Before the card game took over? In that case, same here. But i already have it, so eh.

I probably won't get it and just collect the Japanese edition instead; especially if Viz keeps the censoring (I remember a reference to condoms from the crazy teacher was censored in later printings), and there'll probably be no color pages as there's no kanzenban in Japan that I know of.
