CAA or EASA ATPL?

I am currently hour building via the modular route. My initial plan was to start ATPL theory when I reach 50hour PIC (approximately 6-7 months weather permitting), which should give me enough time to complete my exams, gain the hours and not have to stop working.

I will shortly reach the point where I need to decide whether CAA or EASA exams are the way to go. At present I believe that EASA licences can be accepted by the CAA but not vice versa and therefore EASA would be the obvious choice. However, my concern is that if the rules change later down the line I would be stuck with an EASA licence and unable to work in the U.K. As I only have U.K. citizenship this would make working in the EU problematic.

I have considered delaying but do not want to do this for more than 12 months.

What are your thoughts on how the situation will develop?

Does anybody have any advice or suggestions on which route to take?
