American Bank vs French Bank?

I was hoping to get some insight into which bank would be better to join for a newcomer in IB.

Currently in London, and only have offers from Wells Fargo and Credit Agricole for their IBD division. 

One is pushing to grow IBD with a huge balance sheet backing it (Wells), but the other has a more established IBD team in CA-CIB.

So in terms of future opportunities to join other banks, salaries, bonus etc. which one would be better?
