If it comes to just flying...it is hard to beat flying turboprops. Sure jets are neat for a few hundred hours. but all you do is sit in cruise. Some may think i am nuts. But I miss the multi leg days where you get to have landing contest with the other pilot and can actually have fun at work.
As for Jet time vs Prop. In most cases who cares as long as it is PIC time.

Another one of these threads! Yes!
Whatever gets you the PIC fastest is definitely the best answer.
But if you really want to know...
Never flew an RJ, but I'm sure it wasn't much different than my Maddog, save a few hundred thousand pounds. But nothing will ever compare to the Mighty Beech 1900 Super Extended-Cab King Air.
Besides, everybody flies RJs, do something original. (Sarcasm alert in full effect please)

It all depends on what your goals are. Props are great, you get a couple more levers, a lot of hand flying and you'll do well in any interview sim that has steam gauges. Irronicly airlines like Continental and Cathay discount Turbo Prop time.
But overall Props rock. Why else does ASA pays their right seat prop drivers $3 more an hour than 200 fos?
