CRJs are a good bird to fly. I find that the 200s are responsive with banks vs the 700/900. CRJs do not have Autothrottles where as the E-175s do. I won't comment on how the E-Jets fly as I've never flown them.
At the end of the day, an airplane is an airplane. I wouldn't let the flying characteristics or automation determine where you should go.
