Take any information offered, but don't let others decide your career. You could be miserable at the "best" regional or happy as can be at the "worst" one.

The pettiness about what airframe you are on never seems to go away, pay, domicile, and line quality are what matters.

and most importantly... don't be "that guy"

good luck mate
Getting hired at a place you have no intention of going though is not the best situation. It just burns bridges when you turn them down and if you get in a pinch you have one less fall back option.

No!- forget PSA/PDT and id even be careful of Eagle. Stick to the regionals that are getting more flying/planes and not the ones that are parking airplanes and giving concessions.

Don't go to the interview. Don't accept the job if its offered. If you have the mins for a regional, you literally have your pick right now. Why go there?

Skywest, or XJT. But really anywhere with a contract would be preferable.

Agreed. I would never move for a regional so for me it was purely a geographical decision. If where you live does not matter, then stick with the regionals with a decent contract and a future.

I third. Please don't go to Republic. Their own pilot group pleads with you to not go. That should speak volumes to you.
