Help a monkey pick the right banana - Prioritizing FT offers and potential offers (GS, JPM, Citi, WFG, TD, Lloyds)

I posted a discussion last year about SA opportunities; I was able to pursue Credit, which I would not have without the kind words from the WSO people. After that, I was able to seek opportunities in other fields; the name and the role enabled me to land quite a number of interviews (//www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/which-position-to-accept-in-brutal-hones… here is the link for the previous thread). Now, I have another set of things to worry about: the full time offers...

Cutting to the chase, I have two offers and a number of FT superdays coming. Knowing that one week is usually the deadline for FT offers, I just wanted to prioritize the options for a swift decision making process in the near term.

Background: Target (think McIntire, Stern, Ross)
Interests: Debt (Lev Fin, Credit Risk, Fixed Income Research)

Options:
Wells Capital Management - Fixed Income in SF (Offer)
TD Lev Fin (Offer)
GS CRMA
Citi Risk Rotation - Credit, Market, Country I think
JPM IB Risk
Citi Financial Stategy Group in Hong Kong
Lloyds Banking in NYC.

My interest is not the usual "2-year grind for a buyside shop;" it's rather about building an expertise in a field and sticking to the related fields on the sell-side. So my main concerns in making the right decision are regarding brand reputation, learning opportunities, and ability to move around other roles within an investment bank (FO and MO only). Any input will be greatly appreciated, and I welcome very subjected views as well!
