The 73N has a lot more of the nice long transcon legs. Much easier to get the 4 legs in 4 days sort of gentleman's flying on that category, even easier than the 757/767. Plus they get all the boutique deep Caribbean flying. However, I felt like I had flown 5 legs because of how uncomfortable (cramped and loud) the cockpit was.
With the 320, sometimes I feel like I need a permission slip to go west of the Mississippi on fifi. 5 leg days? We do those! Up 6 legs? Done em! But, it's done in comfort. So... yeah...
SLC has both 320 and 73N on the narrowbody side, as well as 7ER.
None of them are bad choices, though... welcome aboard!!
Haven't flown the Airbus, but the 737NG has a sweet avionics package, at least compared to the RJ
