Default SFO CA QOL- 737 vs Bus

Hi all, currently living the 787 IRO life and considering upgrade before my flying skills evaporate completely. I'm able to drive 1 hour to work (SFO) to mitigate some reserve misery. Comfortable in the left seat, but looking for some feedback between the 737 and Bus.. I'd be upgrading at 1 year & 500hrs on property.

737 Pros-

Already typed (Prior SWA)
Slightly better seniority/movement (ATM)
Subjectively speaking, slightly better trips/overnights

Cons:

Cockpit/Cabin
Arguably more fatiguing to fly

320 Pros-

Quieter/ more comfortable = less overall fatigue at the end of the day

Cons:

New airplane and learning Airbus brain logic from the left seat
Trips slightly less desirable
Bottom of the barrel seniority with no cushion

Appreciate the thoughts, Thanks all!
