Really who cares? There's two types of Regionals.... Regional "A" Is the one that has a better contract, better pay, Maybe a okay schedule. But it has a 4-5 year upgrade because of it's good pay more people are making a career there. Then you have the "B" regionals that have not so good pay, not so good contract, schedules suck. But if you go and suck it up then you upgrade in just under two years.
So which is better for you?? Some think go and upgrade and you'll be sitting in the right seat of a mainline carrier before Pilot "A" even upgrades. Nothing wrong with that.
Or go with airline "A" you have more money and better QOL and can actually pay your bills and live while flying.
Which is better??? It's been the same song and dance forever. Just depends on how you want to get where you're going. Like I said it all McDonalds until you get to a major.
