Having been a Faculty, Rez and Maroon rep within the last four years, I found my Residence Rep experience to be by far the most rewarding. People apply to be a rep for various reasons and are willing to commit different levels into it, for me I was willing to completely dedicate one entire week from 7am to 1am to the Rez Rep job (which by far requires the most commitment), ignoring social activities during frosh week just because I valued the connections I was able to make and the positive influence I was for my floor and other first years in Brandon. To this day I am still in touch with or acknowledge many of them on campus, while my faculty experience with Social Sciences wasn't bad it was a totally different kind of experience with more interactions with your fellow reps then first years. Especially for Science which has by far the largest rep team on campus, I don't know how I would fare. But again there are people who are really committed to their faculty, would prefer to go home at decent hours and wake up later and still have a social life, Faculty repping might be a better fit.
Again not putting down one over the other, I just have personal preferences.
