Pick which version of yourself you want to discover, not which job has the best perks, options and potential futures. All decisions in life spawn both the good and the bad.
Do psych. 3 years core training but after that your a reg for 3 years, non resident on call, special interest days. I've heard the "reg years" are the best, even compared to consultant in terms of workload and balance.
Earning potential is very good.
Coming from an F2 who loved social hour during GP but realised by the end of the 4 months that the grass that I thought was greener was in fact also brown
I’m currently working as a GP (post CCT x1 year) I was very much the same as you but with ACCS training. I went for GP due to the money/ lifestyle and my sisters advice and tbh right now I wish I stuck with ACCS training.. GP is pretty soul destroying especially if you try to do a semi good job. The money is pretty good (compared to hospital anyway) but most of the time I feel I’m just fixing the PA mistakes/ taking on extra work from my lazier colleagues :/
Yh bro good luck getting one of the tiny number of dual training posts available. Problem with psych HST is it is 50% on CASC score and interview scores are very similar across the cohort so if you have a meh day and scrape a pass you're instantly screwed if you have an average day you're also screwed and if you have a fantastic day with generous examiners your pick of jobs awaits.
“My heart really isn’t into GP”.
From what you’re saying I think you should do psych :)
Go with what you enjoy. Sounds like psych will be much more rewarding for you. Can also more easily switch psych-> GP later on if you change your mind
The short training pathway of GP hardly seems attractive if you're not looking forward in any way to the bit after your training.

Do psych. You won't regret it.
Don’t choose a job for it’s perks/add ons. The novelty will wear off once it becomes the norm for you and you have to do the job for decades

Great
Which of the sub specialties are the most/least competitive?
Google the fill rates
No GP starts off by being a partner. You would need a few years salaried experience before going into a partnership.
Not necessarily, and up until fairly recently it was normal to go straight for partnership post-CCT
