Equity Derivatives vs FX Options trading for global macro?

Currently a BB analyst. Final goal is to get into a global macro hedge fund. I'm wondering if it is better to get into FX Options or Equity derivatives trading. FX of course is more macro, but i feel that it is getting more and more electronic when compared to equity derivatives. Which desk is better for a global macro hedge fund?
