MM IB or S&T for Hedge Fund

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
