Title says it - senior in college wanting to eventually work at hedge fund, have an offer from a MM IB (Baird, Blair, HL, etc) for the Restructuring/Debt Advisory group, and an offer to be an Equity Derivates Trader at BB (Not Goldman JPM, lower BB). Which would better position me for a career in hedge fund industry?

Restructuring to credit/distressed HF is a very common transition. Trading to becoming buyside/execution trader at HF also possible. But both are different roles at HFs so try to figure out which end role you’d be a better fit with.
I'm a trader at an IB and get a lot of calls (and have taken interviews) with recruiters / hedge funds. A very common transition from bank trader to HF if you're in the macro space (however it seems you're offer is in equities).
