I wouldn't think it'd be a huge difference to be honest. Anyone capable of getting through CRJ/ERJ training at a regional would probably pass Airbus training at an LCC. Maybe there'd be some self learning involved without the "tailored to getting CFIs into an airliner" aspect of regional training but I don't even think that accounts for much.
A hundred people on here probly think I'm wrong but that's my opinion.
