Corporate Banking vs. IB (Loan Syndication)

Assuming both offers are for a BB, which would you take and why? I heard in product groups, you don't necessarily need technical skills and it's a dead end (excluding LevFin and M&A), whereas in Corp Banking, you do lots of credit analysis and it's more interesting.

Thanks!
