Difference in prestige for Analyst vs. Associate programs at EB?

At firms like Moelis/PJT/PWP/Evercore/Lazard/Guggenheim, I know that analysts at EBs are really highly regarded, but does that extend to A2A or MBA associates? Sorta in the way Yale undergrad is more highly regarded than Yale SOM?

Just interested in the way those of you currently on the street perceive the programs. It seems to me like all the top talent leaves for PE, so those in the associate role either couldn't make the jump or came in from an MBA program.

Appreciate any thoughts you might have.
