My advice is pick your plane on what domicile you want to go to or get to. Then worry about the airframe. When picking the jet realize that seniority growth can be a major factor in getting to the base you want.
Currently the 717 is stable and while a nice jet you won't see the seniority progression that you might see on the 88 or 320 because of the aversion/growth respectively.
The worst part of the 88 is the bid packages lately. YMMV
