Multi-turbine will always be more valuable than multi-piston regardless of the centerline thrust issue. Besides, pretty much the only way you're gonna have a multiengine jet with centerline thrust is in a tactical aircraft of some sort, and such military time always carries a premium in the eyes of the airlines.

Think about it: a fighter pilot with only 1000 hrs of F-16 or F-15 time can jump straight to the majors (if they were hiring), even tho he/she/it may not meet TT requirements for most regionals. Why? It's all turbine PIC.
