The one you are able to leave for a legacy carrier, and the sooner the better.

Think of them like high school: best enjoyed in the rear-view mirror.

If I get a Pony... I gotta say mine has something NO other regional has..

Speaking on a more "serious and realistic" term I think there are a few great contracts, and pretty much each regional having 1 or 2 GREAT sections.

I like AWAC and XJet without concessions, I also like the FDX contract, and while we are at it the contracts from carriers flying the CR9 in what was known as a DC9-10 about 10-15 years ago. If you want to feel bad go look those up....and compare the rates and rules to what the aircraft of that size is operated at now by "regionals" that are operating routes that are only "regional" if states are continents.

With that said, trying to decide the Best FA's amongst the Regional carriers is like... well, it's a waste of time. Granted a few misguided hotties do stumble through once and a while, usually for very short periods of time.
