But the tendency seems to be that a journal - at least a decent one - is the better bet as a "sure thing". This goes, not least if your university or funding agency, as in my case, heavily favors journal articles in terms of the weight they are given in aggregated assessments of someone's publication output. having said that, to be featured as a young researcher in a prestigeous company will surely carry some weight some time on.
