VC Investor vs Hedge Fund Investor (Not FoF)

I was wondering would you rather join a VC on the investment team or join a hedge fund's investment team (this also includes HF's VC fund). If you've been through this scenario, Would love to hear all perspectives from people who have or have not been in this scenario.

Think HF as in Coatue Management Think VC as in Benchmark Ventures
