In the robotic world of the airlines, if that is your goal I would have to say go the instructing route.
However, if you want to get hands on experience and learn to fly an aircraft properly, then go bush flying. As for standards, maintain you own. Very important that. Tailwheel time, even better as it teaches one to use ones feet, near the ground.
I source pilots to fly jet powered aircraft from time to time and I would take the bush experienced person every time.
