Equity Research or Credit Research?

I am incoming research summer intern and am wondering if I should put on my preference form equity or credit research for this summer. 

Does equity research have higher return offer rates because it's bigger than credit research?

Does equity research or credit research have better exit ops? 

How do the hours differ?

Would be appreciative of any insight!
