DCM (BNPP/HSBC/RBC) vs. Corporate Banking (BofA/Citi) in Europe

Hello, if you had two offers, one in DCM at a non-BB international bank and one in CB at a BB, which one would be a better choice:
 

1. In terms of exit opps, compensation (I was told its not that different?), hours

2. If you wanted to work in HK/Singapore after that in either IB/CB (would having a BB name on the CV be more important than having an IB internship at a non-BB international bank?)
