Moelis RX vs HL RX (NYC)

Am interning with one of the groups above and am thinking about recruiting FT for the other group. At either bank, I have been assured that I will be working on RX transactions (which is what I am interested in), so not trying to make this a debate on M&A/RX generalist vs RX group. HL RX obviously has a longer history and very dealflow/talent, but have heard the group is declining recently. Moelis RX has been described as a group that is on the rise, but am I solving for exits as well. I am interested in distressed, special sits, or value-oriented PE funds. I have strong contacts at both banks and confident I'll get an interview if I choose to lateral.
