Industrials vs FIG group

Hello,

I just started freshman year of college at a good semi-target that recieves attention from a handful of BB and has a pretty well-established finance pipeline. I joined the Investment Club as soon as I got on campus, and also applied to lead an industry group. This is a group of people who review one industry and generate buy and sell pitches of companies within that industry. It's a great leadership opportunity, and I just heard back I could lead either Industrials or FIG. I honestly don't know very much about either industry, so I don't know which one to pick. Which one looks more impressive on a resume and will give me the most relevant experience for when I am applying for a SA position?

Thanks
