Both of them can provide excellent training and actually hold you to standards, which benefits a lot of people when they go to their first 121 job.

However, the degree that is associated with the training is almost worthless, there is no such thing as an "aeronautical scientist". While you can use the degree in a few places besides piloting if you are smart and look around, it's very limiting and there are almost an endless list of degrees that would better suit someone. One thing to think about is that with the schedules you'll eventually hold, what are you going to do with your time? Many legacy airline pilots hold another job of some kind, either running/owning a business or something else that they can afford to do. What do you want to do with a bunch of space time that you could possibly fall back on if your airline shut down tomorrow?

Airlines, especially the top tier ones, look for a variety of personality traits and life experience, not that you went to the most expensive school. This means how much have you branched out, done different things, helped the community, helped your employers, completed projects, etc?

In the end, the resume with the most turbine PIC will likely be the one that gets looked at. Barring that, the one with the most turbine, and barring that, the one with the most multi...and so on...
