If you like the regional better, accept the recall, if not...stay put.
I agree completely with Rick. If your dream is a major, take the 121 job first. Seniority is everything. And majors look for 121 time. If you do get furloughed you will be one of the first to get hired back and will probably be at the front of the next hiring boom (and there will be one). You are always better off being on the seniority list than to be looking in from the outside.
