Tough call, I think the west coast is definitely trending ERJ, thing is you'll likely fly more and upgrade on the CRJ faster.
I guess my advice would be to keep your eye on the grand prize, and it's not SkyWest in San Francisco I'm guessing. Right now the most junior captain on the ERJ in San Francisco is probably close to 5 years with the company. I imagine the equivalent seniority on the CRJ is well into line holder territory, vs the ERJ captain who is sitting reserve. If the ERJ guy wants to fly, he is going to have to commute, likely to MSP, and many were, clear across to LGA.
You want to fly, you want the time, both to upgrade and then to gain PIC so you can move on. If you want the option to upgrade and stay in SF I'd still say go CRJ, then see how it goes.
