Best groups within Robert W Baird

Hi guys,
I am interested in applying for the Investment Banking division of Robert Baird as an Associate.
I would deeply appreciate it if you could advise me on the best groups to work for within Investment Banking.
By best I mean great deal flow, considerate team-mates, bearable hours, lots of learning, etc.

For your reference the i-banking group is divided as:
Mergers and Acquisitions
Equity Financing
Corporate Restructuring
Financial Sponsors

I was hoping to join either Mergers and Acquisitions or Financial Sponsors.
Thank you for your help.
