Would a PE firm prefer bank debt to high yield debt and why?

I know bank debt is floating rate with maintenance covenants and principal + interest payments while high yield is interest only with higher fixed rate and lower in capital stack. In terms of returns, would bank debt or high yield debt provide a higher return for PE firm?

Also, I got a question in an interview that I believe asked me what are the pros and cons of using loans vs. bonds to finance a company. Had no idea what he meant... is this just bank debt vs. high yield.
