737 drops are heavy in general because younger new hires bid off of it after the seat lock and withholding period so there is a continual need to backfill the seat.
320 flying in DFW and MIA is desirable if you like the Latin terrain destinations. XLRs may eventually have augmented south of the equator trips from MIA.
Because of seat locks and withholding it is wise to bid equipment first and base trade. If you are young in your class though, you will probably be stuck on the 73.
