I wouldn't say there is a specific one. Depends entirely on the quality of the individual, but I'd also say that the jump from sellside S&T to buyside is harder to make every day.

You'll be chatting w/ distressed investors all day, will help you make the jump.
There isn't one type of hedge fund. These videos give a good overview of the market.
If you want to be in a credit/distressed/special situation fund, being in a high yield/distressed analyst is the best way in.
