Are you asking us to pick one?

I consider option one and three the same thing.

This isn't a choice someone can make for you. If you want to be an airline pilot- go to the regionals. If you want to be a cargo pilot- go to Amflight, if you want to do corporate, ect. It's up to you!

So long as it won't get you violated or hurt or killed, take the job offer you have, not the one you don't.

That's the conventional wisdom, but right now you can safely assume you'll get a regional job if you meet ATP mins particularly if you're open to bottom-feeders.

A jet regional will probably offer flight experience that's more in line with what most majors are looking for right now.
