If you want the West Coast, take the ERJ. CRJ flying is being greatly reduced in California and even SLC. The 200 flying in LAX is nearly gone, PSP has seen a reduction in lines as well. There are nine additional Alaska 175s coming next year?
If you want to be based in PHX, DFW, DTW, COS, ORD, DEN, or MSP the CRJ is still a good choice. The only choice for the first four. The CRJ flying in SLC sucks and is being reduced.
As far as CRJ to ERJ transitions.. I heard/read that they weren't going to start again until March or April next year. If there isn't adequate staffing on the CRJ at the time, they will probably cancel those classes and continue just upgrading with the short course. Attrition is absolutely crazy right now, and will probably stay that way. LOL at management being concerned about seniority over staffing. I think management likes to be able to advertise the quicker 175 upgrade time as well.

Yeah I've signed up there, there's hundreds of questions to go over. But I've seen guys that have done their interviews say study the gouge. And on aviationinterviews there's nothing specifically called "gouge" so it lead me to believe SkyWest sent something for potential hires to study

The questions listed on aviationinterviews.com are a good place to start. Know how to read Jepp charts, be able to sit in a cockpit scenario and know how to use CRM and available resources to figure out and fix a problem, and be able to talk coherently and be an easy person to be around. That will get you the offer. Some of the interviewers may dig a little deeper into systems of airplanes you have flown like " explain to me the electrical system and the difference between amps and volts". But Jepp charts and CRM are the big ticket items.
