If you were flying privately only in Europe, had an IMCR and you were considering doing an IR, in light of what is going on, would you go FAA , or JAR / EASA now?
The key question is, 'Do you own, have ready access to, or intend to purchase from the US a N-reg aircraft?'
If the answer is 'No', then I would suggest holding the decision for a few months to suss the lay of the land.
If the answer with regard to N-Reg aircraft is 'Yes', then it is more complicated and depends on when you want to achieve the rating and a number of decisions/actions that will be taken over the course of this year. The straight EASA route is the clear one - all the rest are dependant on decisions/implementations that are not yet defined.
