I believe a railroad shipping to online customers within their own system would use their own cars, it's how they make money, paying per diem rates to another road for your own customers wouldn't make sense.Shipping to another system was another story, I'm not sure when ICC  ruled that a road had to ship cars back loaded if their was a load designated for a that cars home territory. I would say you should lean to a 1/3 or more of pennsy cars. Since pennsy interchanged with many roads, any other cars will do, but if you model an interchange , you may want a few extra of their cars.
