What RickAir said about getting hired ASAP is absolutely correct. I was hired in spring 2005 at NetJets. 30 months later I was a Captain. Pilots hired 6 months after me are still First Officers, just now starting to make Captain and I think pilots hired a year after me got furloughed for 4 years after the 2008 economic collapse. Seniority is everything in the airlines.
I would go for the path that'll get you 1500 hours the quickest-if you can afford to do that.
