S&T vs. Investment Management BB if I want to go to a hedge fund

If my goal is to work at a hedge fund is it better to accept an offer at an S&T Equity Derivatives desk or an investment management analyst position for a fixed income desk?

I know there is a lot of "it depends" but any advice is appreciated.
