JPM vs MS S&T

Incoming sophomore summer fixed income SA at MS, but I just finished superday for JPM Trading (havent heard back yet). Which would you pick between MS and JPM for S&T? I like the fact that I will have built some connections spending two summers at MS, but I know JPM is stronger in fixed income and I enjoyed the people at JPM a bit more. I also want to maximize my chances of a return offer on a good desk here (FI vol desk preferably), so would really appreciate any guidance!

If you are set on fixed income would for sure go with JP. Offer rates are significantly higher + JP is top 3 in virtually all products

 

I know MS's program is rotational. Would this be easier to maximize getting an offer from or is being on one desk the whole summer better?
