Best Consulting Firm per Industry

Hi guys, 

Being new to the world of consulting, I would love to hear your thoughts about the leaders in each specific segments. I obviously know that McKinsey, Bain and BCG are the most represented one in this forum, but which one is better in pharmaceuticals ? Aviation ? Industrials & Chemicals ? 

To give you an example, Bain is the largest advisor for PE funds (proven with data)

What do you think ?

That is, in fact, very debatable and varies vastly across geographies. For example, Bain tech practice in London is far from class leading.
