I'm sure competitive mins at other places are just as high.

If you goal is majors, a regional is probably the safest path. You can pad total, turbine, glass, 121, and jet time (assuming RJs), and if it turns out you'll need more TPIC you can upgrade eventually.

Unless you are well connected or stand out for other reasons you'll probably be below mil and regional captains in the resume stack with 91 King Air or Dash time .
