On the Bus, I ended up doing more work on a supercompact roster..... Two ULH and two OZ trips a month, and throw a sim in there for good measure every 1.5 months (due crew up and mods). Some times 5 trips a month.... add a Dubai into the mix....

As for the supercompact, get you sleep when you can. I was like a zombie on the 2nd trip return sector.... You wont catch me doing SC again....

Off the supercompact; 3 OZ and 1 Dubai a month. OR very rearly a ULH (line check) and 2-3 regionals.

I guess this will change now with the Airbus about to lose a daily LHR and the daily AMS in October to the 744.

As for choice of fleet type, guys have been known to get the type they wanted by delaying their start untill there was a slot. But I guess this all depends on what slots are available. My bet is if they are only hiring for the one type at the time, you wont have a choice. My advice, just take what's on offer. The guys on the 744 seemed to have pretty good rosters, I'd take that if offered.
Good luck and welcome to HKG
