PWP vs Solomon Partners

I am very lucky to have received two SA offers at PWP and Solomon Partners. Both offers are for their generalist program. I know PWP has been on the decline in recent years and Solomon has been on a rapid rise to being a rising-EB, but am not sure if these trends are reflected when it comes to PE recruiting. I plan on exiting to PE after two years should I get an offer, but am not sure which firm has better PE exits. I also value workplace culture and wlb, and am not sure which firm is better in those two departments.
