I wouldn't base my decision on either. I would base it on the growth potential of what I could be earning 5-7 years down the line. First year salary means little. The opportunity to be something bigger down the road is what its about (and that usually comes with smaller, less known companies). I would work a job for free for the first year if it meant I could learn a lot and a earn a lot more 5-7 or 8 years down the road. Thats what I tell all my friends who are graduating college, forget about first year salaries. Look at how the company promotes people within, there's nothing worst than being stuck at a dead end job, even if it pays more when you're first starting out.
