If your end goal is working in distressed or HF, I think Moelis LA would give you more optionality. Otherwise, Vista.
I think if given the chance, Vista is not something you can pass up on. Even if you do the summer and potentially not like Vista full-time, you would be able to recruit almost anywhere.
I think at both firms the retention from SA to FT is near 100% but I would think you have a better shot at Vista.
Vista hands down. 9/10 I'd recommend people go with the reputable buyside program over a banking program.
