Help with AN1 choice - BB LDN vs GS Regional Office

Hi everyone, I need your help. Starting the analyst class, what would you choose between GS country coverage in a regional office (think Paris, Frankfurt, Madrid) and a US BB in London (think JPM, MS, BofA) in a good industry group but not top-notch? My aspiration is to do the analyst program and then move to PE. I am aware that the opportunities in London are greater for PEs, but on the other hand, the GS brand is unparalleled. Thank you for your help!!
