My advice would be tell them what base you want and take the permanent contract if you are successful. I'm just a line Captain so I'm not involved in the process but I have been told by some newer colleagues that the interview and sim is very straight forward with no tricks.
I know for a fact the assessors are a great bunch and very friendly. They are looking for very good CRM and TEM. Remember the cockpit gradient is quite low in Ryanair so speak up and put your point across whichever seat you are sitting in. Most importantly safe and sound decision making and competent manual handling is the key. They are not trying to catch you out.
Good luck.
