I say that specifically NA isn't better than RA because nearly everyone unfamiliar with acreditation will assume that national is better or the same as regional.
Regional is still the standard - everyone will take RA. National is accepted alot of the time, but not always (my job for instance won't accept it)..... and theological/vocationals are rarely accepted outside of their field, though they might be far and away the best education for that field of study.
It just depends on what your purpose for the degree is. If you just want a degree for the sake of having a degree, or to move onto a grad program, it seems by far the safest is to go after an RA degree...because that leaves open the most opportunities.
