Trading product....

So, despite my 1st year summer internship in M&A and other first year experience, I decide to go for trading in my penultimate year SA.... I want to try it out and it appeals to me for different reasons.

Which side has more modelling? A question out of interest, I'm good (at this stage) at excel and I'm not basing my decisions on this, but I'd assume M&A had a lot given what I've read but surely some traders who take the Long Term Capital Management route do a lot? Is the amount you do dependent on your style of trading or has that decreased and the routine more homogenous now?
