I would also look at what is your end plan, what is dream job. If wanting to move up in the airline world, working for an airline will be a plus.
If the state job can be a career job? if you can not move up to TP or Tjet aircraft at the state job, you will not be able to skip RJ job to get to a major airline.
The airline world is all about seniority so the sooner your in the better off you will be.

Gov't job - probably as secure a flying job as any, probably most holidays & weekends off (and most nights at home), probably with decent health care and a pension. That said, its probably a more political position (by its governmental nature) so you'll probably have to know how to "not rock the boat".
If you're happy with the offered compensation I'd say take the state job and be done with it...

Providing for yourself & your family financially while enjoying a decent quality of life...THAT is what this "work" thing is all about IMO.
