Tough choice.

Glass gets sorted in less than one sim session so don't worry about that.

If you have a 100t plus on your ticket it puts you into a different bracket than most pilots. Basically it means your up for wide body jobs from the word go.

The Phenom will put you into the Biz jet cat but doesn't do you any favours for airlines.

The saab 2000 have very few airframes out there and you will have a very small market to get work in. If you do a search on Eastern they operate them in the UK.

The only problem you will have with the IL-76 is that most if not all of the operators will expect you to fly into some right holes and you also might have issues if you don't know the local lingo. But if you have a job lined up already, 500-1000 hours on line will set you up for moving on to something decent
