Stop thinking this is an A vs B decision. It’s not. A is offered, B is not (yet - hopefully)
There is no such thing as a discussion about "best". You apply for a jet RHS, you will get into a training environment that provides the necessary tools to allow you to pass training, whatever the background.
It's about letting go of an opportunity because you basically "dream" of a position. Don't dream, take the real chance and continue to chase what you want. There is no such thing as certainty in aviation. You will learn something in the left seat, it's an experience. It doesn't stop you from chasing a RHS on a jet. Do both. The company needs to seat to be filled. There is no reason not to take the opportunity. I've known plenty of people who took command upgrade on a jet, and left within a year for a better company. It's all about opportunities and take them when they show up. So far, the RHS jet opportunity is not reality, so take the other one. But don't stop. And if you need to leave the LHS within a year, so be it.
