Suggestion
Here is what I tell folks to do to help focus their job search on a company that matches their own personal goals. Write down on a piece of paper the 5 or 6 things you most want out of your aviation career. people vs. boxes, variety of aircraft, max pay, upgrade time, which airline will lead to less stress, job security, retirement benefits, benefits, long haul vs. short-haul, management team, etc. Once you have identified those things that will make "you" the happiest & provide you the most fulfillment, do the research into the various companies that will allow you to achieve your goals.
As you have stated, flying various aircraft sounds like your number 1 goal, maybe not but put them all down & do your homework. Asking other's opinions on which airlines match up to your desires is a good idea and every 5-10 years go back & look at that list of "priorities" & remind yourself why you are where you are. Don't expect the company to change its priorities if you do however & you become "unfullfilled"....that's your challenge in "guessing" which airline to go to.
Most folks become disgruntled or dissatisifed with their career because the priorities they, the pilot, have changed. Or in the case of some airlines, the same priorities that put these airlines at the top of someone's list have led to the downfall of these companies but not always. That's a simpleton way of looking at it & that's generally how I operate....not enough brain cells left to do much else...hope that helps.

. However, if I have to fly the 777 for the next 20 years that would be okay too.
