to save me a lot of browsing time can someone help me to understand the difference between these two? I’ve always been lead to assume that JAR-Ops is more stringent than FAA but I’d like to understand a little more detail. Many thanks.

So if you were going to appoint a company to do a safety audit on your flight department, would you take on that claims to work to 135 or EU-OPS standards?

The correct name for it is EU-OPS now, after JAR ceased to exist.
To answer a question like yours is really impossible on an online forum like this. It all depends on what you want to achieve. You can only compare the two by reading them side by side taking notes on how a particular item is going to affect a particular situation.
Overall I´d say they are pretty similar at the end of the day. Some differences are there for sure, but not as much as some would have you believe! I know of one US airline that thought the FAR´s were too much of a hassle, and have decided to register their new aircraft type in an EU-OPS country. Can cut both ways, I suppose!
