It's all relative over time and you should view it as where you will be 6 months to a year out since the class drops won't give you any indication where you will be in 6 months since pilots will bid to other bases. NYC will be the most junior system wide with the NYC 717 and NYC 88 close behind the 717. NYC 737/320 after that. ATL 717 then ATL 88 after those.
Other than that, your seniority in the other bases/aircraft could vary drastically depending on the makeup of those senior to you and where they want to live and fly. If you want the best seniority after 6 months to a year, small narrow bodies in NYC will be your best bet with ATL 717 and 88 after those.

If choosing between the A320 and 737 for someone who actually wants to stay in NYC (commuting from Montreal), which one would be best if seniority is ignored? I assume upward movement in the first few years would be pretty similar between the two in the first year, so which one tends to have better trips that are more commuter friendly?

The 737 has better trips (fewer legs, more transcons/Caribbean.)
So if you bid the 320 you'll be more comfortable as you work harder.

I believe less EWR departures on the 737 too, the 6 months I was there they had O every month. LGA was maybe 15%~ of the trips too. The Caribbean trips were fantastic too, long overnights. Not sure if that's still the case. Could be good or bad for some people. Not sure from Montreal.
