I would go to WF coverage group as it will be easier to lateral to a different bank's coverage group from there (if you want to). A lot of people on here seem to have trouble going from ECM/DCM to coverage/M&A groups but idk how true that is in actuality. One note though is that Barclays is really good about mobility between groups so if you were to go to Barclays, after ~2 years you could switch internally to coverage.
Coverage at Wells. Easier to lateral if you want later on. Currently at a MM and we've basically strayed away from DCM/ECM bankers at even BB since we need people with M&A reps.
Unless Barclays is LevFin (not sure if Barclays has LevFin under DCM), I'd probably do WF coverage. Coverage will be more fun than plain vanilla ECM and DCM. ABS is a killer. You'll be hard pressed to get out of ABS if you go there. Not to say there aren't great buy-side options, you'll just have to compete against the equity research guys etc.
