Portfolio Analyst (Power Commerical Structuring) vs. Short-term Power Trading Analyst

Last week, I interviewed with regional utility for their short-term power trading desk analyst position. At the end of my interview, I talked to director of their structure group and he asked me if I like to apply for analyst position in his group. My interview went well and currently, I am on the top of their list. Therefore, I feel like I will receive an offer for the trading analyst. But which one is better for the long-term career in energy?
