If you size up "where do I want to be" in terms of regionals, you should have an end goal in sight. Currently, if it's Delta, you likely want Endeavor. If American, sort through the WO's for your QOL. United? Well, do some research... honestly, I really can't speak to UA.
If you have your CFI, you get hired by Lufthansa flight academy in AZ. After working for them until you get your ATP, then you go directly to narrow-body UAL. Coex/Expressjet (not ASA) and Commutair have preferential interview.

Bid base first, aircraft second. Quality of life is more important than the equipment you fly. Example: if you need to be in DTW and they only offer DTW 200 in your indoc class then bid that.
Other than that there are guys who will say the 900 is sooooooo much better (which mechanically it is) but there are other factors such as trip duration, available lines, destinations, flight time, etc. to consider. It's a toss up for me. I wanted to fly the 900 but I'm on the 200 and I like it a lot. The short trips work well for me. To each their own.

Sure, if that's what's important to you. Snack boxes are like non-reving. We get the leftovers, but yes the APU is a lot better. I flew the Saab with no APU and had fun with that too. It is what you make of it. Like I said, they're both airplanes

A line on the 200 is better than reserve on the 900. Make you choice based on QOL. The 900 is better in all aspects for flying aside from being fun to fly (the 200 is lighter, more responsive and feels better hand flying). The 900 is also less work because of things being more automated. None of that matters if you aren't senior enough to hold it in the base you want or have the schedule you are looking for.
