ATPL(H) or CPL(H)?

I have seen threads similar to this before, but I am interested in starting it again due to my own circumstances.

I am just starting ATPL GS, distance learning, but have not paid for module 2, and am planning to take about 10 months to complete both modules. I have abot 1000hrs TT (military), mostly twin engine. I will be loking for a job in about 16 months, but do not really know where or what type. My question is this - is it really worth me doing the full ATPL exams or should I just do CPL (H), considering I am not sure if I will be do IR in the 3 yr period after. I am considering tying to apply to some of the larger companies, (CHC), in which case I guess it would be beneficial. My prefered employment would be corporate and or air ambulance type work, then rig work, but I cannot be too picky initially about what I get.

I would be most grateful for any thoughts or advice on the subject.

Thanks
