I'd say it's mostly a 50/50 choice. Expressjet is the safer job, because TSA lost a lot of their Delta flying, but I suspect upgrade at TSA is around 2 years, vs 5-7 years at Expressjet. I'd probably take the risk on TSA for the quicker upgrade, because regionals are so short staffed for crew that it doesn't really matter if you have to jump ship down the track.
Thanks DYS useful info.
I'd guess this rate of flight time accumulation wouldn't ideally suit the purposes of a young Aussie coming here ?

Alas, I'm not quite (or even close too) a spring chicken starting out, I'm late 40s with a 2500 hours mostly Turbine above 5700.
This is a potential career restart after 8 years on the bench flying a desk
I also have a wife (who can work on E3) and 2 dependents to consider in the equation.
Appreciate the advise.
