Corticosteroids for infusion ?reactions

Methylprednisolone (Solu-Medrol) and hydrocortisone (Solu-Cortef) are used to treat infusion reactions to chemotherapy and other anticancer treatments. Some clinicians seem to favor one over the other. Is there a significant difference between the two or is it just a matter of clinician preference?
