Jill is nice, pretty and so on. But she grew up in a golden cage. She has probably never had any real problems in her life. As soon as Tybald comes along and blackmails her, she can't play the piano anymore.
Maya is the complete opposite. She has more than enough problems and starts to face them. At the end of EP3, Maya herself said that she doesn't believe her father's lies anymore. Does she need help? Yes, but she is still developing. And when Maya has finished her development, she will be more down to earth than Jill, because she has simply gone through ups and downs in life. MC and Maya are actually relatively similar, just with the difference of the fathers. If Maya had a father like Neil and MC had Maya's father, DPC could have written the same story with the roles reversed.
All 3 have essentially suffered some type of loss; Jill lost her sister, Maya has lost her father's love, the MC lost his Mom.
All 3 have, in some way or another, suffered some form of bullying; Jill from some as-yet unknown person(s), Maya from her father's strict religious upbringing, the MC from bullies at school.
So all 3 have some shared experiences, and I'd even say that both Maya
and Jill need to do some growing; Jill has a silver-spoon mentality and is too easily trusting, Maya needs to stand up to her Dad and stand on her own 2 feet.
I think both are good matches for the MC, but Jill and the MC is too similar to the MC's Dad and Lynette. Sure, that might seem quite poetic if he too got together with a rich heiress who went against her family's wishes to run away with some poor schlub, but that similarity makes it kinda bland.
Also:
If Maya had a father like Neil and MC had Maya's father, DPC could have written the same story with the roles reversed.
So the MC would be gay?
