Are all instructor positions looked at the same way or do they really separate you from your peers?

I'm going to be finishing up my squad leader time next year and I'm interested in becoming a SERE-C instructor. I've heard that all instructor positions are looked at much the same way. However, numerous individuals have mentioned that certain instructor positions outweigh others but no one has been able to explain why.
What would be better for future career progression and why? Becoming a Ranger Instructor or SERE-C instructor?

Although being a Ranger Instructor may carry more weight than being a SERE-C Instructor, being any kind of instructor will benefit you over people who don't have instructor time. For example, two SSG board files up for SFC and every aspect is identical, APFT, NCOER's, awards, deployments, conus assignments, squad leader time, platoon leader time, SSD, NCOES, Mil and Civ Ed but one of you has instructor time and the other doesn't, who's probably going to get selected.

RANGER, it is more widely known in the Military/Army community, they are volunteers and will make you some long lasting contacts.

Awesome, thanks for the insight. Looks like I'll be going to R.I. route then considering I really don't have much of a choice with how under staffed they are.
