Tired topic but still : IB or S&T?

Hey everyone!

I am a rising junior at a target school, who was lucky enough to end up with 2 offers for the next summer: IB at an EB and S&T at a top-tier BB. I know that it is a great position to be in but I need to decide now. I am aware of the hours/comps/nature of work differences, so ultimately it is what I like the most but I had no prior experience in these fields so I am torn between these two.

Please share your opinion on where these industries are going and how important is the company name because that S&T offer comes from the BEST place for S&T, while IB is mediocre but with great people. I am pretty sure I can do both successfully but I'd like to choose something that is more stable and have future career prospects (which hard to predict since these are two different firms and two different divisions).

Anyway, thanks for any advice. Cheers!
