Complex Financing/Origination

I'm really interested in complex debt or equity origination and I was hoping there might be a group (preferably at an EB but interested in BB as well) that does some combination of RX, debt advisory, convertibles, and levfin, and they structure a variety of products. I've gathered a bit of info based on networking and LinkedIn stalking but it'd be great if others could share some insight. This is what I've got so far and apologies if some of it is incorrect.

Evercore: Obviously has the dedicated RX group that is highly respected. Some MDs, VPs, and Associates have 'Debt Advisory' in their title but it seems like very few analysts solely focus on just debt advisory. Also recently built a 2-3 person convertible bond team in ECM.

Moelis: They have the M&A and RX generalist program for analysts that everyone knows. I think they now have 'Moelis Capital Solutions' with three MDs that they poached from Barclays - 1 equity-linked/public markets, 1 private capital markets, 1 equity syndicate.

Lazard: They have a group called 'Lazard Capital Advisory' that I've heard has a good reputation. Knew a guy who worked in their structured equity group in the late '90s but don't know anything else.

Centerview/PJT/PWP: Literally no idea. 

I feel like GS or JPM might have a complex financing group and each bank has their separate equity-linked and levfin groups, but I haven't heard of any unique alternative financing group. Back in the day, GS, JPM, and ML used to do unique financing deals where they'd occasionally put in their own capital but all that stuff is definitely dead now.
