Would you rather be a SS ER with coverage or BS analyst?

Curious the opinions of those with different perspectives if it's a better gig to be a sell-side equity analyst with coverage of any kind but most likely not a major I.I. category or a buy-side analyst (long or HF) at a decent sized AUM house for each respectively. Obviously both industries changing along with their prospects, compensation, and stability.

Thoughts?
