Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

All depends on what position you are looking for. Neither is good at everything, but have groups that are reputable. And btw, if you get 10 different ranks from 10 different people, how will that help you? Don't waster your time like I just did :).
what group / location? None of these are great, but each decent in unique groups / industries. It is hard to give an overall rank without knowing specifics.
location is NY. Groups in question are mainly M&A related in either Energy or Industrials. I know none are challenging for #1 on global league tables but looking for greater perspective on platform strength.
Piper Jaffray FBR BNP Paribas Cowen Macquarie JMP in that order.
Thanks, any color you can add though? Is it true that Macquarie comp is way below street? (Even for MM)
Piper Macquarie FBR Cowen BNP (did not know they have IB in NYC) JMP
Macquarie over FBR?
what about houlihan (ex restructuring)?
HL's comp is street
man id take houlihan over all of em
Samsies brah.
Houlihan is not one of my options.
Any additional commentary would be most helpful? Anyone?
I'd stay away from JMP and Cowen at the moment, and BNP never gets their act together. Piper is strong in Healthcare. Would probably go for either FBR or Macquarie.
did you get these interviews through OCR or cold calling/emailing?
I'm assuming, b/c I'm in the interview process at a few of these firms listed that he got them through connections or some really solid cold calling / emailing. I know OCR for the ones I'm interviewing with have yet to begin and they have a number of info. sessions to do even before resume drops, but everything is going to happen real quick in the next few weeks. Happy hunting.
