Oil Trading vs FX

If you guys had to choose between interning on an oil trading desk at a BB that deals mostly in derivative contracts tied to various products or an FX options desk at a BB which would you pick? Assuming that in terms of cultural fit you would be indifferent, I'd love to hear your opinion, maybe taking into account the future of these desks in terms of regulation, pay, job security, etc... Thanks!
