It all comes down to personal preference and opportunities.

You also have to look at the bigger picture .. ie WHERE do YOU want to end up??

Personally, I'd go for the piston twin, as it does make you consider failures and also alot of companies have twins in their fleet, so you may start on a single but progress to a twin...

Not too many companies out there operate Turbine singles, BUT if this is where you want your career to be(maybe RFDS - PC12s??)take the Turbine option.

If however you want an airline job, look at the bigger picture and go the twin. Single engine turbine time can go against you if you get too much of it.

All the best with your decision!!
