Offer dilemma...advice needed asap

Hey guys, I posted a topic with this before but I didn't get much response so I'm trying again. I currently have some options with a few groups and I wanted to get everyone's opinion before I made a decision. I have the possibility of working in a top LevFin group outside of NYC as well as very well respected C&R and E&P teams in NYC for a BB. In terms of dealflow, skill set, and exit ops, does anyone have any advice on which route to follow? My goal is to enter PE or a hedge fund after my 2 years. LevFin is a great group that PE firms love to pick from, but does being outside of NYC limit my opportunities to go elsewhere? Would those coverage groups provide a similar exposure to PE firms like LevFin would? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
