It provided the benefits of a solid-state solution for many applications, but its performance was limited by several drawbacks: It requires a high base current to turn on, it has relatively slow turn-off characteristics (known as current tail), and it's susceptible to thermal runaway due to its negative temperature coefficient.
Certainly, the IGBT is the choice for breakdown voltages above 1000 V, while the MOSFET is for device breakdown voltages below 250 V. Device selection isn't so clear, though, when the breakdown voltage is between 250 and 1000 V. In this range, some components vendors advocate the use of MOSFETs.
In this particular scenario, the IGBT appears to be the device of choice.

 Semiconductor Primer, semiconductors 101
In an NPN transistor the outer layers which form the emitter and collector are N type semiconductors doped with an impurity to supply extra electrons, while the thin base layer, typically only 1 micron thick, is a P type semiconductor doped with a different impurity which provides holes.
The junction transistor is a current controlled device as opposed to a voltage controlled device and because the base-emitter diode is forward biased, the junction transistor has the disadvantage of a low input impedance which loads down the signal source connected to the transistor base.
The output of one transistor is fed to the input of the second and the output of the second transistor is in turn fed back to the input of the first.

 Definition of IGBT transistor
The "first-generation" devices of the 1980s and early '90s were relatively slow in switching, and prone to failure through such modes as latchup and secondary breakdown.
The IGBT is mainly used in switching power supplies and motor control applications.
The extremely high pulse ratings of second- and third- generation devices also make them useful for generating large power pulses in areas like particle and plasma physics, where they are starting to supersede older devices like thyratrons and spark gaps.
