Again, from this post I dont intend to ask directly what is better, I understand that it is only for me to decide that, based on my specific situation, but I would greatly appreciate any type of opinion/suggestion/comment that you guys may want to throw at me. I still have a lot to learn here...

FS-
Just my opinion, but I don't think that Jetblue or Spirit will consider you. Not because you don't have flight time, but b/c they are getting more qualified applicants.
Quite honestly, if I had it to do over, I would go to RAH/SKW and live out my regional years as comforatably as possible. Note the comforatable word is relative.
Since your not in a rush to upgrade, you won't have a problem with sitting in the right seat at either place for 2.5-3ish years. Could be more, could be less.
Either way, you'll find good work rules at SKW, with hopefully roughly the same rules coming to RAH with their new contract which is being worked on as we speak.
Bright futures as both airlines, and there's something to be said for that. I came to Mesa chasing a quick upgrade, and am paying the price. Not so much in QOL now, but with the uncertainty that looms over this airline.
Good luck.
