They have excellent policy and research resources. I was taught by 3 guys from the WB - Aaditya Matoo, Bernard Hoekman and Gary Horlick (he aint there anymore) and 1 guy from the IMF for my masters. So i may be biased.
The WB and IMF have nothing to do with trade even though everybody makes out they do. The WB is a developmemt organizations. They build stuff. The don't negotiate. The IMF is a lending institution to correct balance of payments deficit. It is the Fed for the world to bring in a US comparision.
