Houston vs. NYC IB

I have been accepted to a top 15 MBA program that places well in Investment Banking (my interested post-MBA career path)

I am from the Houston area and I am an engineer in the oil and gas industry, so part of my inclination is to come back to Houston and do energy investment banking in Houston. I wanted to know the pros/cons of a Houston IB job when compared to a NYC IB job. Also, what are the top banks in Houston?

Thanks
