MM IB vs LMM GE

Currently have an offer to join top MM bank (think Baird, HL, WB) in a solid group and have an offer to join a small GE shop (between 1 - 2 billion aum) as an analyst. Thinking of potential GE long term but I do want to keep my options open on the rest of buy side. Which will give me the best exit opps and potential career opportunities?
