MM IB (Derivatives) or BB CIB Risk Management

Currently between a middle market investment bank, which offers better pay and bonus and a bulge bracket (JPM/CITI/BofA) CIB risk management role for asset backed finance. The middle market IB role is centered around risk management as well, but has more to do with interest rate swaps, forex, and commodity derivatives. I'm wondering which of these will be better long-term since the BB role might let me move to FO, but I'm not sure if it's possible. The MM IB role puts me in a lesser-known group, but I'm still in IB as opposed to the other role. What do my fellow monkeys recommend that I do advance my future earnings and ensure that I get into the best IB role possible.
