(London) Debt advisory vs. full service boutiques

Hi all,

This looks like the right time to explore a career in the general restructuring space.
How would you compare well established boutiques such as HL, Roth, Lazard or Moelis vs. debt advisory-only places such as Marlborough Partners?
Then there are some other players such as DC which could be considered a "tier" below (?) the first names, but I am not sure about their standing vs. pure debt advisory players.

Thanks!
