They are all great career prospects. There aren't enough heads in the field to meet the demand. I don't agree with the specializations you have listed. People move around all the time. I'm currently Red Team and got here by doing appsec, netpen and vuln research.
As for the most prestigious, there is no such thing. Red Team and Blue Team operations are both vital to any organization. The Red Team verifies attacks are caught, and Blue Team catches incidents to minimize damage asap. Prestigious probably depends on the company and which one they respect more.
As for most fun, I really enjoy breaking things and being malicious. It's why I do well in the field. I'd say you have to discover what you enjoy for yourself. You don't want to get pigeonholed into just doing code reviews your whole life or reading through log files. In order to get through this level you have to show you can do more than be a checklist jockey.
Pay is pretty much the same for all of these at the larger organizations.
