The problem is seniority in class goes by age and the 175 lately goes Pretty much the most senior. I'm not sure why that is though because I heard the 145 pays a better bonus. Is that true?

That's true. 175 has been popular because it's a nicer plane for one, and the time on reserve has been substantially shorter. Most new hires have only been doing a month or two of reserve then holding a line. That could change after the 40th 175 is delivered in the next few months if there aren't going to be any more deliveries anytime soon.

Under the wing engine, more Pax, and Auto Throttles / VNAV... makes it more appealing to people for some reason.
I would not recommend taking a $5k hit on pay to work a different equipment. At the end of the day, it is a job & the risk & efforts and pay rates are the same. Take the money & base.
Only positive I see is getting DFW right away vs after training & the Emb170/190 type rating IF your plans are to eventually fly OVERSEAS (EU, Asia, Middle East, etc) in the future.
