Offer Help - Capital markets offer

I have offers from Citi Capital Markets (NYC), Citi IBD (Houston), and RBS IBD (Stamford), I have about a week to decided on an offer. Just curious if I can get people's thoughts on these different firms/locations. My goal is to do banking in New York... my thought is maybe Houston IBD might be better, but I'm not sure if they will give me time to recruit in the fall if I get an offer back... how easy would it be to lateral from Capital Markets to IBD if I take the Capital Markets offer?

Thanks guys, my only concern with Citi Houston IBD is that I might not have time to shop around for offers in NYC, they made it sound like I'm signing on for 2 years at least. I really want to be in NYC for full-time, can anyone comment on the lateral from Capital Markets in IBD?
