Better experience, Flight Instruction or S/O?

Which do you think you get better experience from, flight instruction or being a second officer.

Personally, I believe that more relivent experience for low time pilots can be gained in the right seat than just the empty hours flying around the patch or in the practice area with a student.

Why would someone want to hire a flight instructor with 1250 hours as apposed to a 250 hour newly minted commercial pilot, and train them in the way best suited to the job?
