Which job? J31 based in Europe or Ryanair?

A few days ago I mentioned a friend of mine who was looking to join Ryanair. However a vacancy has now arisen at the carrier I work for which is a J31 operator based in mainland Europe. My friend is now trying to decide which carrier to join, what are your opinions?

J31 Operator Positives:
- Good, small employer
- Happy Work Force
- Reasonable salary (c. €2,100 per month)

J31 Operator Negatives:
- Must fund own type rating
- Irregular flying and roster
- Small aircraft

Ryanair Positives:
- Stable Roster
- Medium Jet
- Quick hours

Ryanair Negatives:
- Poor morale
- Poor initial salary
- Pay for own type rating

This guy is looking to me for advice and I can't really say I'd be certain of who to choose. Part of me say J31 part of me says 738.

What do you guys reckon?

Thanks
