Which SEA category has the better flying? 330 or ER?

Yes, and I've looked at them. But from my ATL717 perspective, sometimes it makes more sense to ask the guys doing the flying.

I think the ER flying is better with way more variety. Unless you want to live in AMS and CDG and never really see another airport again.

You would have to define what is important to you. It's different for everyone. Do you want commutable trips? Do you like long or short trip? Do you want to minimize days worked or go to exotic locations? What will your seniority range on each be? Cash or quality of life?
The best way to make a evaluation is not the bid package. Instead take a look at actual pilot schedules after the month is over. Look at what guys in your seniority really flew. Check both winter and summer schedules.

Moving to Seattle. Don't need commutability. Would currently sit 83%ish on the ER. Couldn't hold the 330, but with the MOAB AE at our fingertips, you never know if I might be able to sneak in on the bottom.

If you would be 83% on the ER the 330 isn't going to happen any time soon, especially since there will be whale guys displacing into it and the fact they have been saying it's been overstaffed with no vacancies or backfills for the last year but I suppose you never know...
You have a better chance at making 737 Captain IMO.

330 doesn't go to Asia?

We are still getting 330's where as the 767 is going the way of the dinosaur, so there will be growth in the 330 category, not so much in the 767Er, and then there's the retirements off the 330 vs 767. You could bid the 767 for now and then go to the 330 2 years later.
