heading out for a trip Mid July. Trying to figure out the pros and of camping at each of these places.

Does either of them have better fishing?

The lower lake would be better for fishing.

Iceberg is so much higher, that unless you are well acclimated, your chances of developing AMS while you sleep are higher. The main advantage, though, is that you are closer to the summit.

But it is not difficult to stay at UBSL, climb to the summit and return. You might still decide to pack up everything and get down the same day. Going to Iceberg, you have to haul all your gear a lot farther.
