As someone with experience in 91, 135, and 121, I would honestly say neither. Gone for 2 weeks straight sounds like hell to me. Especially since it's most likely a 15/13 schedule, which means you've guaranteed that you will be away from home for over half the month.

NetJets is a great company, but it will never again be a great company to be a pilot for. Some of that is simple economics and some of that is the constant negativity of the pilot group (whether deserved or not).
