IBD, its rotational so if you want to try Real Estate as a coverage group for one of your rotations it should be easy to do. Also I think return offer % is higher in IBD than MBD
Depends on who the REPE firm is

Go for IBD if your goal is breaking into traditional buyout PE or keeping your buyside options open.
REPE is a nice industry, but it's quite difficult to exit to traditional PE from there
