All depends on the requirements of the company you're looking to get on with. Turboprop experience doesn't mean too much if a company wants jet experience. Jet time will cover your basis a little better than turboprop. As for who is the better pilot? The autopilot on a turboprop takes MUCH more skill to manipulate than that of a jet!
(I know pilots who have gotten hired on at UPS and SWA with nothing but turboprop time.)
