EB or HF SA

Have offers at one of EVR/LAZ/Moelis and a somewhat known multi-strat HF where I'd be doing L/S equity investing, with the potential to branch out into other strategies. Name brand obviously much stronger at the EB, but probably more interested in investing and definitely looking to be in a HF long term. Only thing is, I'd definitely like one of the more prestigious value funds long term (Lone Pine, Viking, Maverick, etc), and feels like the multi-strat, while an awesome learning experience, would not necessarily set me up for that as they tend to take only the 2+2 (sometimes just 2 yrs IB/PE now) path with fewer deviations. Any advice appreciated.

If L/S is valid path and keeps options open, think I’m heavily leaning towards that… comp is also somewhat materially higher, which is a decent plus lol. Thanks so much guys!
