Any info on these L/S SMs?

Hey guys. Would appreciate some info on the following funds: Soroban, D1, HG Vora, Luxor, Darsana, Eminence, Palestra. Currently in MF PE, thinking about jumping ship, just trying to think ahead. Any info on strategy (I know theyre all l/s or event driv, but there are many ways to play the game / diff strokes for diff folks), culture, career progression, comp, and transition from PE would be very much appreciated.
