Acquisitions Analyst - MM REPE vs. BB Bank

Some background info: this would be my first gig straight out of undergrad and both are for an acquisitions analyst role. I have an offer from one and I am still interviewing with the other.

In terms of exit-ops, graduate school placement (MBA or MSRE), and general experience, would you rather take an analyst position with a well respected and capitalized MM REPE shop in a major east coast city (not NYC) or at the real estate investment arm of a mid-tier bulge bracket bank (also east coast but not NYC)?

I'm weighing pros and cons of each, and would love to hear your guys input before accepting the offer I have.
