If you like the Caribbean, the 737 is the way to go. Provo, Aruba, Grand Cayman, Cancun, Curaçao, Antigua, St Kitts, etc. These are all layovers , too...not just turns. The 737 also does some "South America Lite": Medellin, Cali, and Manaus. Also plenty of Central America such as Belize, San Pedro Sula, Guatemala, etc.
The 75/76 does some Caribbean but much of it has been taken over by the 737. 757 still does St Thomas, Barbados, and St Maarten layovers and maybe a couple others but that's it for Caribbean. Most of the stuff is Caracas, Maracaibo, Bogota, Quito, and the Deep South stuff: most of Brazil, Montevideo, Santiago Chile, etc. Europe stuff is Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, London and Milan.
You'll prob get off reserve slightly faster on the 737, but the 75/76 does go very junior as well. Good luck! Both fleets offer some really fun flying and destinations. It's a type of flying I'm glad I did, now I'm enjoying not commuting on my domestic 737 gig.
