1500 hours in each, and I'd go with the Saab hands down. However, the metros didn't have an autopilot. 
Not that I considred flying the Metro HARD. Still loved every minute of it. Actually that job paid more too. Hmmmm...

Ask a mechanic which is easier to work on, and you will be lucky if you dont' hear some cuss words out of his mouth about the mexican sewertube.

I have flown both, and hands down prefer the SAAB, better in the ice, has an auto pilot, and when you're done flying a leg you don't have to play with the prop!

Who cares?
Metro or Saab?
Who cares?
Now, if you're asking about the GV vs. the RJ, I'd say the GV hands down. There was a bigger area between your lap and the yoke to put the sports page and the flight attendant had better food in the galley.
Props are for boats dude.
