Turboprops are fine. Upgrading and grabbing 121 TPIC is probably the next biggest resume bump out there after you get 121 on your resume. The next bump would be mil IP.
Here's another consideration - fly Silver for a 1000 hrs. If a rapid upgrade isn't available take your 1000 hrs 121 and get a DEC job at a different commuter. It might be worth doing even if you upgrade at Silver if you're willing to take the pain of commuting hoping that another 121 Captain job, and type rating, might generate the final point that gets your resume reviewed.
