Cap IQ vs. Factset for Corporate Development?

Hi, I've been on sell-side and buy-side long-only and L/S equities for years... moving to the corporate side in Corporate Development. I've used Factset years ago, but have been on Bloomberg the last 5+ years. I'm totally new to Corp Dev. I'll be monitoring a mix of public and privates. I can choose between Factset and Cap IQ. Have never used Cap IQ. Do you recommend one or the other for Corp Dev? Why? 

Thanks for any help... much appreciated.
