Quantitative Trading rankings

How would you rank different quant-bent trading groups/programs at different companies? Here's my (not entirely informed) view of things:

Tier 1:
Goldman Sachs FICC Algo desk
Goldman Sachs GSAM QIS
Jane Street Capital
Getco
Morgan Stanley PDT
Citadel

Tier 2:
SIG
DRW Trading
Citi Quantitative Trading and Analysis
Wolverine Trading
Jump Trading

Tier 3:
Chicago Trading Company
Spot Trading
Knight
IMC Market
Optiver

Tier 4:
A bunch of obscure Chicago prop shops

What would you disagree with/agree with on my list?

Could someone let me know how the quant trading groups/programs at JPMorgan, Barclays, Credit Suisse, UBS, DB, BoA, other Morgan Stanley groups fit into this list? I've not heard much of them.....
