As you progress in your career, your priorities change. For me, first it was accumulating as much turbine time as possible. Then it became having a salary and some quality of life. Now, I just want some stability. Not sure if 121 can provide that, but it cant be any worse than corporate aviation.
Life's too short to do something that doesn't make you happy for 20+ years - That's how you end up having heart failure at 46! And, you're absolutely right too, it is all about priorities. I'll probably work more in the airlines BUT, at least I will know definitiviely when I work (or sit reserve) so to my family, that's much more important! Go with your gut and good luck! Also, keep this in mind - if you wake up and "get to go to work" you're doin' good, if you feel like you "have to go to work" you're not!
I just happy I'm not wearing the "Uncle Sam" costume hustling people to the nearest H&R Block! That dude "Has to go to work!"
