If you’re still in time building mode, then Mesa is a good choice. Generally, at some point you might get tired of building time, and then you’ll perhaps regret going somewhere else where you have more time off. Of course, you can always go someplace else any time you want....

I'd heard some not so good things about Envoy (to a previous comment) but I understand pilot forums are not the total reflection of the company. But still gives pause.
My understanding is that you "could" go somewhere else after 4 years via the United Airlines Career Path Program. Is flow to them still between 6-10 years?

So yes, if you stick to the United side you might after interviewing through the process go to United, but percentage wise there is a much better chance you won't.
