Coverage Group PE Exits?

How are coverage groups (at lower BB's specifically) perceived in PE recruitment? Wondering especially for groups that may not have the highest M&A exposure and have more capital markets deals. Is there hope for MM/UMM PE or is it better to just target a group that does more sell-side M&A?
