A320 or B737 ?

Hi All,

I am an experience pilot (ATPL, ICAO, 2400 TT), decided to locate my self to East Asia.
in order to get a f/o position, decided to aquire a type rating on a popular
airliner.
the dilemma is 737 or A320 ???
i would like your opinion on the subject considering the following:
* which type produces more vacancies now and in the near future?
* countries like China, Japan, India, are barely hiring expats (f/o positions)
correct me if i am wrong (especially regarding China?).
* i don't posses oceania/pacific passport (so Australia, New Zealand, etc' are
out of question)
* being Israeli, can't work in Muslim countries.

in numbers - there are in south east Asia:
737 - around 1350 (all models) and on order 650
A320 - around 950 (all versions) and on order more then 900
