Where is the best deal at the moment? Emirates/Qatar/FD/Etihad?

I am considering leaving Europe for the Middle east?

Which airline currently offers the best conditions for a B737 first officer with 3000 hours?

How much difference is there between the long haul carriers? Salary, housing, crew hotels when underway, atmosphere, future upgrade opportunities etc.

And how does FlyDubai fit in? Is it correct that the salary is quite a lot better than Emirates, but with out housing (how much extra do you get at Emirates if you opt out)? Would it be faster to command with said 3000 hours on 737 already (and hence even higher salary within short term than the long haul carriers, where it would be expected to fly as F/O for 5-7 years)?

Thanks to anyone who would take the time to shed some light on this
