Why DSF over IS interview answer?!

So I have a capital markets internship interview think cbre, jll, eastdil and i want to be prepared to answer the question "do you prefer investment sales or Debt and structured finance and why?

My answer would be I'd prefer underwriting multiple types of properties which the DSF team does and it would be more aligned with my personality type to work with more people, because the DSF guys work with all teams not just an analyst on say the industrial team.

I honestly don't have a preference so would appreciate your answer to it!
