It depends on their need, though sometimes you're given a choice. I was given a choice, and picked first available. That turned out to be the Brasilia, and I'm glad I got it for several reasons.
Upgrade time is currently (and has historically always been) quicker on the Brasilia. As to what that is for a pilot starting out now, who knows... Current upgrades were hired 4-5 years ago I believe.
