Single pilot in a 1900, Metro, or B99 is better than right seat @ a regional, but not as good as left seat. Generally, the closer your former flying is to the flying you're applying to, the better (excepting military guys, since many of their missions are unique).
The best kind of time to have - networking time. The more people you know, and the closer they are to the top, the better you chances. Like all jobs, it is not so much about what you know, it's who you know. The guy with 1000 hours of Caravan time and friends with the Chief Pilot will usually get the job before the 20,000 hour 747 Captain who doesn't have an in.
So, get some light twin T-Prop time and hang out anywhere you see guys with big watches, cheap beer, and free food and you'll do great!
