Assuming permanent residency is the end goal and given what I've seen of the quotas, am I right that an EB-2 is easier / faster to get hold of than an H1-B? I understand that EB-2s are per-country-capped but not scaled to the country's population, so being from the UK it seems I'd be in better chance than someone from, say, India or China. I qualify for EB-2 as I'm a bachelors graduate with 8 years industry experience post-grad. Do employers have any preference as to EB-2 or H1-B? The costs don't really matter much as I'm willing to take on as much as legally permitted.

Ugh, ok, short answer: EB-2 gets you a green card. An H-1B, by itself, never gets you to the green card stage. I'm aware H-1B is a stepping stone, I was using it as a shorthand for the full process of H-1B / I-485 which while more common seemed like a much more heavily contended route to a green card. Thanks for the insight into the employer mindset, though, they're all fair points even if I'm willing to take most of the cost on myself.
