The secret in making a choice, is to understand which part of the dualism offers you more takeaway, that will matter for you in the long run.
You have worked for 13yrs, hence you are a senior-to-mid level talent, in terms of experience. Working in a small firm may need crucial responsibilities to justify your role. If you want to move ahead, you may need to scale up your responsibilities.
You have weighed the situation too well with your existing employer. Thats how you are sure, that you will not be confirmed. Please move from the role fast. You resigning from the job will have far less impact than being terminated.
If you go back you your ex-employer, please do it with more responsibilities in mind. Agree to ignore the faults , but work for growth. Your ex-employer knows your worth, hence will give you full support in the areas you wish to grow.
One thing that kills us professionally, is when we cannot scale up our responsibilities. As long as you keep growing in terms of professional maturity, you will have fewer reasons to worry. Working for any IT Giant as a programmer, isn't as good as designing the next iPhone, as a startup.
Wish you all the best!
