Is your LMO as a skilled worker? and is your goal to be a permanent resident of Canada after all of this? If so go for it! After one year you can apply for PR under CEC. Once you get eligibility you can apply for an open work permit anyways or a bridging open permit. (look it up on the cic website.)
Although there is no possibility that by the time you are ready to apply for PR all the rules will be the same.

Advantage LMO:
Valid two years

Disadvantage LMO:
Tied to specific employer. If I quit or am fired, I'm screwed for working until a new LMO. And who sais I'll get one.



Advatage PGWP:
Open workpermit. Can work for anyone. No need for an LMO. If I get fired or I quit, I can take another job anywhere even if it isn't what I'm trained to do, while looking for the right job.

Disadvantage PGWP:
Valid one year.

I think I know what I would do.
