Better biopharma IB vertical- WF or SVB Leerink?

Both have expanded a ton in healthcare last year. WF is on a hiring spree and SVB just poached a bunch of MDs from BB. Overall, WF generates bigger fees however has mostly led via balance sheets SVB has a bigger presence in biotech IPOs and more recently M&A however it is still much small resource wise than WF.

Which will have the better healthcare group in 2022 and beyond?
