Boutique Strategy Consulting vs Economic Consulting

Long time reader, first time writer;

Currently an undergrad and recently received offers from Analysis Group and Mars & co and struggling to choose between boutique strategy and economic consulting. Down the road I am interested in corporate strategy and wondering how the skill sets and exits would differ between the two?
