The CFM A321 in my opinion is not the best version for Jet2 because of the thrust available, which reduces range.
I might however be wide of the mark.
The cfm and v2500 (a5) have the same thrust rating? The cfm is believed to drink a little more fuel (and oil) than the v25 but both will have more than enough range to cope with any of jet2's routes. Jet2 are very savvy so I would be amazed if they introduced 2 different engine types on such a small sub fleet. It just brings complexity and cost.
From my experience working on both, the Cfm is a FAR better engine.
