If I was in your shoes I would bid the BRO unless I could be based at home on the jet sooner. I have 1,000 in T-Props and about the same amount of time in a jet and I can tell you that the T-prop was much more fun to fly and better flying. On the BRO you will be going up and down the coast in CA and you won't be just doing 25 mile finals leading to an ILS. Flying a T-Prop is harder than flying a jet as the systems are more complex and it's older technology. Some guys that make an argument that I don't need to know older technology are incorrect because the jet will have similar systems but they will be automatic and you won't learn much about it, by starting in something like the BRO you will learn more about those systems and how they work giving you a solid foundation for the future.

To this day I remember flying my first leg on the CRJ, passing thru 10,000 I said to my self... this is going to be boring, and it was. The jet flying is boring but the jet flying QOL and pay is better than the T-prop. First year pay you will make about the same money in the prop per hr than the jet, I would highly recommend flying the prop for experience and transitioning to the jet your second year.
