A) North American ice and style of game]
B) Longer season
C) A short ride up to Ottawa

You simply *will not* get any of that in the SEL. The advantages of the SEL are also fairly obvious:
A) Mommy's cooking
B) Girlfriend's ... nooking? What do they call it nowadays? It's been a while.
C) Shorter season (more 'B')
D) More ice to dangle and impress (in case he's in-between 'B's)
E) Less hitting (good for the GAF -- see 'B')

Well, of course a 19 or 20-year-old from Sweden would prefer the SEL over Binghamton, but from a Sens perspective, I would certainly prefer him in the AHL.

Playing against way better players should be at A) there.

Just one of them had a breakout year though.

I don't know what you mean. Silf had a breakout year too, didn't he?

Yeah I'm good with it, he's gonna be the guy there and he still has some work to do apparently. No rush, SEL is probably the 3rd best league, he can fill out a bit more. It would be nice to have him a stone's throw away, but he'll come over next year I assume.

Well, yeah, in a sense but he's not in the dominating category yet. When he'll be a top liner like Zetterberg and Backstrom were, I will consider it official.
