Ok this is a rough outline of what i can see people are saying

Twin star

Pros: Higher pass rates, reduces pilot workload and makes the IR simpler and introduces the pilot to the glass cockpit

Cons: Doesn't prepare you If things go wrong, more expensive, takes time to get used to the screens.

Analogue

Pros: Prepares you for if/when the FMC fails, Airlines like it better, Cheaper

Cons: More Pilot workload, the transition to glass on the flightdeck is more difficult
