BB Corp Banking vs. MM IBD

I am just curious as to what offer you guys would take for a SA role. Would you rather do Corp Banking at a BB (BofA/Citi/JPM) in NY, or MM Investment Banking (Stifel/Piper/JEF) in NY? Why? Which would be easier to leverage for BB IBD?

(edit): Thanks for the help

MM IBD hands down. Why not just lateral to an Associate role at BB IBD afterwards? 

It's not like BB CB has better exit opps that MM IBD.

I think MM IBD would have the better exit opps.
