Turboprop/Jet/Tropopause

Hi, considering regional (short distance) ops, what would be the link between tropopause altitude and acft power source optimization ?
In other words, is a jet engine more advantageous than turbo under cold climates for short distance flights ?
If yes, does a turboprop become more interesting under hot climate for same distance ?
