I'm assuming all for m&a advisory, right? Do you know already know the teams you were placed in? Given that is a SA position, I'd go for MS. Super strong name both in IB and outside the finance scene; doesn't risk your chances of getting called for analyst interviews for top boutiques after that summer (in case of a change of heart and wanna opt back to a PJT or something similar like EVR, Moelis, etc); nor your chances of exiting to PE in case you stick with them a couple years.

However for me the team matters a lot... and I don't mean a sector team where the bank is strong.. I mean a team from a sector I like (eg: I would choose TMT team at a mid table BB over natural resources team or PUI at GS/MS... just because those industries are not my thing)
