Career Perspective at firms like Teza/Headlands/Eladian

For entry-level quant position for a fresh PhD student, how to compare the career perspectives of the following three categories:

1) famous hedge funds (e.g., Two Sigma/DEShaw/Citadel)
2) relatively established prop shops (e.g., Getco, Hudson River Trading, Jump Trading)
3) new shops (Eladian Partners, Teza, Headlands Technologies)

If one is lucky to get some offers from category 1) or 2), should she still consider category 3)?

Advice on either certain category in general or any specific firm above will be great! Thanks!
