Not saying I wouldn't recommend it but it wouldn't be my first choice. I spent a very short period on active duty and went to the guard. The great thing about the guard is you can be as active as you want or as part time as you want (airframe tempo driven). Your airplanes look and operate like new (mostly) or at least significantly better than your active counter parts. Some of the planes have the same crew chief as when the plane showed up on the ramp. the great thing about the guard is you get to fly with the same dudes for 20 yrs. The crappy thing about the guard is you have to fly with some of the same dudes for 20 years.

Bottom line would be bird in hand. I would apply to all, even if you are awarded one, continue pursuing all, then make the decision after that. Nothing says if you go active you have to stay for 20 or leave after the first assignment. It is up to you but it's better than putting all your eggs in one basket. Best of luck
