You pointed out some points for modular training which are not 100% correct.
Modular training if you commit your self to be a full time student you will end up finishing your training earlier than any other integrated student, and this is because you get to choose your training providers along the way depending on your location preferences, money and etc. Therefore the fastest way is structured modular(where you follow your training as a full time student).
The second point which you mentioned about that airlines prefer integrated students is again correct, but, there is a but, these airlines are numbered, and most of them are in the UK. Another thing about these airlines is that the majority of them also accept modular student which in the long run it is a better choice to go modular, save money and be able to do a type rating because no one pays for your type rating any more.
The choice rests on your shoulders, no matter which path you choose, just stick to it and do not divert from your original path. Integrated training + type rating for me is not worth it, no one can guarantee you a job after you are done with your training, there are integrated students who are in a pool for 2 years, and still have to pay the bank loan, likewise there are modular students who are also 2 years in the pool waiting but the owe less money.
