A lot of these are CR9's. That being said, E-series is still regional, an MD-80 is a mainline, and at least for the MD-88's that I've flown on, one of the most fun planes to fly on, and fun to watch and hear in operation. The 737 is boring, but I associate them with a better experience than anything else, but it's probably more due to the airlines that fly them like AS and WN than the airframes themselves.
