What fx/rates/fixed income desk is best for macro/rates hedge funds?

What are the different fx and fixed income desks at banks? like STIR, swaps etc

Which are the best ones/most favoured for hedge funds?

And if so, if you had to choose between an fx desk and a fixed income desk, ideally macro rates, which one would you choose and why?
