BCG Philly vs OW NYC

What would your decision be? Is it worth being at a T1 firm despite the T3 city even if the alternative is a T2 firm in a T1 city? I'm interested in the MBA route (H/S/W), but also want to work on CDDs and see if PE is for me. Would Philly impede BCG's brand enough to make OW NYC a better option? 

I have my opinions but want to hear thoughts without influencing.
