The best approach (In my opinion) would be a mixture of both glass and conventional instruments.

It barely takes 2 hours (again from my personal experience) to get back to the conventional instruments after you fly glass cockpit.

Glass cockpit is, of course, the future, hence it's a good thing to get accustomed to as soon as you can and build as much time as you can on it. If you go through recruitment ads, the words "glass cockpit experience" are highlighted in quite a few of them.

I flew a few hundred hours on conventional instruments before I shifted to the glass cockpit. Can easily fly both now. No issues.
