If I were a thug in Gotham I would be doing my best to move to Central City. The Flash Rogues aren't quite so bloodthirsty there.
I miss the days when bad guys mostly wanted money ....

Isn't there a quote from a guy robbing a bank when someone else why they're doing it in Metropolis and he responds that because if Superman catches you atleast he's a nice guy about it and will recommend the reform program while handing you over to the police (if you just rob the bank without murdering anyone atleast) unlike those gits in Gotham who will beat the crap out of you first and leave you strung up for who knows how long for the cops to find.

A real showstopper!
One guess!

If Catwoman is hiring, she's not a bad choice at all. Unless you're allergic to cats, then nevermind.

Aegis Rose, Forcefield/Energy Defender - Freedom

Probably Riddler. He has expressed frustration and worry about the casual homicidal tendencies of his "peers", is smart, has cool toys, and generally just steals "stuff". Plus Quiz and Query are usually kept around to *look* cute, not to stroke his ego on a personal basis. (We're all here to stroke Riddler's ego on a staff basis, that's why we all act dumb when he asks us the lame riddles)

Some that haven't been mentioned yet:
King Tut: He operates his gang like a royal court, so life is good if you stay on his good side. Problem is he'd be liable to have you executed if you displease him in any way.
Egghead: Seems to treat his staff pretty well. He's mostly obsessed with proving everyone how smart he is, so if your ego can handle being constantly reminded that he a whole lot smarter than you (and let's face it, as a professional henchman having a huge ego is not one of your problems) it's a really good gig.
Man-Bat, Killer Croc: Neither is hiring. If you try to get a gig, you're likely to be either pummeled into paste or eaten.
Music Meister: As a mind-controlled thrall under the sway of his singing, you're obviously working for free. But with all those musical numbers, even if you could care, you'd still be having too much fun.

The idea that you can make a rational decision to work for any supervillain is pretty far fetched. Working for any of them is inherently irrational, which is why their henchmen are usually pretty deranged individuals themselves. The Dark Knight movie told us exactly the kind of person it takes to hench, and you don't want to be that person.
So I choose, "None of the above".
P.S. Kudos to your Silver Agey dream.

That's my thought. Generally, Bane seems like he has the most 'normal' ideas of crime- Drug trafficking, robberies, that sort. He doesn't really have any gimmicks either besides the mexican wrestler sort of deal, so you wouldn't have to dress up as a clown, in question marks or a suit built to withstand extreme cold to go to work, just put on a mask and some clothes you can punch people in the face while wearing. Only downside might be if you have to take Venom and you get addicted.|

Plus, hey, you're siding with the guy who has literally broken Batman before. That should give you some street cred.
