Freight dog it baby!
I learned more about flyng my first three months in a Caravan than I did in the previous 15 years of flying. In this business there are few substitutes for having been out there in the WX making the decisions by yourself. Also, you will never regret having flown the Learjet. A truly great airplane. It's not hard to fly, but if you can fly a Lear smoothly and precisely, the rest of the jets are cake.
Regional flying is a lot of fun too, so you really can't go wrong regardless of which path you chose. Heck I did em' all. If you chose a regional, choose one with a good operation and crew culture. (Horizon, Skywest and Express Jet are ones that come to mind, though certainly not the only ones that would a nice place to work.)
PS- back when I used to be a Captain the very best FO's transitioning into the Lear were ALWAYS ex-freight dogs. Period.
