ex mil 341 or a civil 341/2 ?
former cheaper to run latter cost a fortune in parts unless a non EASA one
Have had both personally i would go with a 500D if you can find one then a stretched 342, then a tie between 500E and 341.

341 Against a C model 500

341 faster ( 125 ish ), carries more weight ( full fuel 4 pax ), 40 gal of fuel an hour, no leg room for pax in back
369C at best 120 kts carries less weight ( full fuel have to watch the pax weight ) 20 gal fuel an hour no head room for pax in the back
