How valuable is piston time?

Obviously turbine and multi-crew time is what you want, but for a low-time frozen-ATLP holder do airlines care tremendously about the type of piston time achieved?

For example, as far as job prospects are concerned, is time in a C-310 worth more than time in a Seminole?

Would an airline rate hours in a single-engine retractable more highly than those gained in a C-172?

Just wondering whether the extra cost for more complex aircraft is really worth it when your resume lands on someone's desk, or if IFR in a C-152 is just as handy as anything else.

Thanks for your feedback
