I have full time offers from an EB in LA (Moelis/HL RX) and Wells Fargo in Charlotte and I need help deciding which offer to take. Any thoughts on analyst experience, compensation, prestige, exit opps?

Congrats on the offers. I think most people on this forum, myself included, would choose your opportunity at the EB, no question.
Is there a reason you believe Wells Fargo in charlotte to be an attractive choice? Are you from charlotte or drawn into the location? And do you know what group you would be placed into at Wells Fargo?
There are a lot of posts on this forum about Wells Fargo that you should check out (many posts which have been negative as of late), and if your offer is not group specific there's a good chance you'll be placed into a group that doesn't have the best exit opps (because the groups with better exit opps probably are filled with their SA class). From my memory most of WF's strong groups are in NYC.
Moelis LA / HL RX are literally the top groups in LA and really anywhere in the US (both rank up there with certain groups in GS, PJT RX, etc).
In most cases, the choice is really up to who you like best and where you think you'll fit, but in this it's crystal clear that you should pick the EB LA offer.
