For example there is the ATP, ATP-EX, ATA, ATA-EX....it would seem I would be able to get out of all those annoying DC-9/737/727 calculations if I just took either the ATP or ATP-EX. Point is, is it going to matter when I go to interview? Or will any of them do? Thanks!

Not sure what the EX or ATA stuff is about, but when you take the ATP written you have a choice of taking the part 135 or part 121 version. The regulatory questions are different, and I think the 135 version does not involve large airliners.

I would base that choice on what you think your next interview or checkride i sgoing to be.
