M&A Vs Restructuring?

Where would be the best place to start one's career out of college. Obviously preference comes into play, but how would you compare a top MM player such as Harris Williams or William Blair to starting off at a restructuring focused group such as Moelis, Evercore, Houlihan RX, Millstein, Miller Buckfire, etc.? Any insight is appreciated, and/or insight into exit opps would be nice from the restructuring side.
