How prestigious are capital markets groups at top BB (JPM, GS, MS)?

I know that ECM/DCM/sometimes LevFin get a discount compared to traditional coverage groups, but do they still retain brand power outside of traditional PE exits? How do they look to the typical HF/VC/Tech/Industry professional?

So JPM/MS/GS DCM/ECM/Levfin (Non-modeling) exits to credit hedgefunds and private credit? I.e. HPS, Blue Owl, Goldentree, Silverpoint, Mudrick, Diameter, etc? 

Do you have any insight on which groups go where? I'll be doing group placement and want to best position myself for buyside exits.
