Cap IQ vs. Factset for Corporate Development?

Hi, I've been on sell-side and buy-side long-only and L/S equities for years... moving to the corporate side in Corporate Development. I've used Factset years ago, but have been on Bloomberg the last 5+ years. I'm totally new to Corp Dev. I'll be monitoring a mix of public and privates. I can choose between Factset and Cap IQ. Have never used Cap IQ. Do you recommend one or the other for Corp Dev? Why? 

Thanks for any help... much appreciated.

Cupiditate autem nihil repellendus sunt. Similique dolores vel aperiam laboriosam suscipit qui odit. Non perferendis quam natus ut. Nemo dolores qui assumenda dolor aspernatur temporibus eaque. Quo corrupti ut distinctio occaecati. Quisquam et dolores provident qui. Sequi vitae et maxime et et.
