It would depend on how much equity you would be getting and the likelihood for the company to succeed. The first, you can negotiate, but the second - that's more art than science in my opinion, unless they have an impending sale or IPO. Either way, unless the equity is super substantial, I think most people take it as a learning experience rather than a comp advantage.
Are you likely to stick it out + will the company last + not be sold in 5 years? Unlikely. Options usually vest over five(ish) years and unless you are early early (first 1-10) employees, not worth it.
Go to startup for culture or you believe in it...go for equity and your likely to be let down. Was at 2 startups before consulting, options were shot when first company was sold, 2nd crashed and never went public
