Default Colgan or Republic?

I'm looking for some objective advice. I am soon to retire from the military and pursue a flying career. I've been hired by both Pinnacle (Colgan) and Republic. There are pros and cons to both companies, and I was hoping someone with some experience in the industry could give me an honest assessment. I know every company has it's drawbacks and there is always going to be something to complain about. I have no experience in the industry, so any insight would help. Ideally from someone who flies or has flown with either/both. I know Colgan starting pay is a bit higher, but what about reserve time, upgrade time, benefits, turboprop vs. jet, etc.? I realize there's no set answer to some of this, but I would appreciate the broad overview. Thanks.
