Which Multi-Engine route?

The RAF Multi-Engine stream is currently the most diverse for trainees in terms of the number of platforms available after the award of brevet.

The question is, which type would you opt for (given the choice), with knowledge of both military flying and post military prospects for the inevitable exodus to the civil world for those who don't climb the ranks?

My picks and reasons for those would be as follows:

99 Sqn - C17 - More diverse than Voyager, some proper military flying with a modern jet fleet.

32 The Royal Sqn - HS 125 to BAE 146 - Flying all over Europe and into theatre more and more often, flying and mixing with very interesting individuals, lifestyle.

70 Sqn - A400M - Real military flying into austere locations. Possibility of crossover to SF.

10 Sqn - Voyager - ATPL + Type Rating on A330, fast track to easy street on a modern jet.

That leaves: Sentry, Rivet Joint, Shadow, C130s, Sentinel, Islander...
