Honestly quite the same for JP and MS but a slight advantage for MS I would say 
Don't know for the rest 

 

IMO JPM has a very good trajectory but MS is excellent as well. You will always have the holy trinity GS-JPM-MS. No one really cares about the raking between the 3 (even if GS is above).

This is mostly true. 

HC - JPM HC is and has been the best HC shop for years now, but GS is also good

Tech - MS Menlo has a huge edge over GS TMT given GS's senior departures; both are miles ahead of JPM and the rest

M&T - GS/MS stronger than JPM

Industrials - quite even, no clear-cut leader here unless you group by sub-verticals

C&R - quite even, no clear-cut leader like in tech

REGL - GS/MS/JPM aren't the clear-cut leaders here, Citi/BofA both strong

O&G - top BB's aren't the clear-cut leaders here

Tech is by far the most top-heavy sector here with MS (and GS to a lesser extent) holding a significant share of the large-cap tech M&A market. Among the other sectors, you'll see the non-MS/GS banks holding a fairer share of the market, and even be at the top in some years.

On a per-capita basis, MS is still well ahead than JPM given that MS runs much leaner than both JPM and GS. Wouldn't use league tables as a fair comparison here since that would be like saying BofA > CVP since BofA ranks much higher in deal volume.
