I have just done what you are about to do. I took the regional job where they treat you like crap and pay next to nothing. My buddies took the full time jobs at the Guard unit and they have done alot better than I have. I am going back to the Guard unit this week. The commuter was great to build total time and PIC time fast, assuming a quick upgrade.
PIC time after you become AC depends on the airline. For most airlines you can log all time after upgrade as PIC. Primary or Secondary doesn't matter. Right seat, Left seat doesn't matter. They can't tell which seat you were in or who 'signed for the aircraft' anyway. LOG IT ALL PIC
