Most A320 positions will be concentrated in just four of the seven hubs, SFO, DEN, ORD and IAH. While EWR, IAD, and LAX have 320s, they are smaller and will remain so. So much smaller that a majority of 320 flights into or out of EWR, IAD, and LAX are operated by 320 pilots based at other hubs. 737s are more evenly distributed.
So if you want a EWR, IAD, or LAX base, and don't want to be on reserve for an extended period, you will do better on the 737. If you don't care about being on reserve for a while, then you're back to the nice office vs nice layover decision.
