Do pilots in the bus get more hours per month since the flights are longer, or does it even out sine the 190 flys more legs?
Here's a rough idea of trip lengths by fleet breakdown:

320:
34% 1-day
25% 2-day
20% 3-day
17% 4-day
4% 5-day

190:
36% 1-day
19% 2-day
18% 3-day
26% 4-day

I've only flown the 320, but I see the seniority progression as a 320 FO vs a 190 FO. Purely QOL related, I would say bidding 50% on the 190 would produce better results than being 80-90% on the 320. To each his own though.
