Default Turbine PIC time or 121 time more valuable?

I'm at 1200TT and weighing two options-

1)Go to the regionals and wait for reserve time and upgrade time to start getting turbine time, then once im at ~1500 turbine PIC time, start applying to the majors

OR

2)Get a job somewhere that I can build 100hrs/month of turbine PIC time, hit 1500 turbine PIC time there, and then go to the regionals afterwards to get some 121 experience. After a year or so there, apply to the majors. The goal of this would be to get my pic time faster and still have 121 experience.

My question is- does United/Delta/American/Southwest consider 121 time more valuable than turbine PIC time? If the turbine time was in a caravan would that look bad compared to just getting my time more slowly at the regionals?
