HF: Would you rather be referred to as an Analyst or Associate?

I'm headed to work at a boutique hedge fund after I graduate in a few weeks. I have the option to choose whether I want the title of Analyst or Associate. I will be conducting a lot of due diligence, valuation, and research, but will also provide support to the MP and interact with clients, hopefully bringing on some new accounts along the way. Safe to say I will wear a lot of different hats.

What title would you prefer and why? Yes. I know associate is the more senior title in IB.
