Experience in glass is more sellable then gauge experience, because it is more common in commercial aviation, BUT ... when it comes to critical situations I would lay my life in the hands of the steam gauge captain. Reason from my experience: the glass cockpit captain may be able to brain process more computer data displays, but the steam gauge captains butt knows intuitively what the physics of flying means.
