Reputations of firms in fixed-income investment banking
Does anyone know the reputations of various banks in fixed-income investment banking, particularly in corporate bond issuances? For example, do bigger companies like AAPL, MSFT tend to issue bonds through certain banks? From what I could see, it appears JPM and BAC do a lot of corporate bond underwriting.
Also, how about muni bond issuances? Any particular institutions that excel in underwriting those?
Finally, are there any other oddities that you could share about different financial firms and their involvement in fixed-income investment banking, e.g. a certain firm tends to underwrite bonds for energy companies vs. TMT companies, a certain firm tends to underwrite all the convertible debt issuances, etc.?

Please ignore the "Central Asia' designation. I don't know how it got on there and can't remove it, but it's not relevant.
Update: I sort of found the answer. There was a posting here called "Best Fixed Income Desks Table" from 2012 that is exactly what I want, but is from 10 years ago. (I would post the link to that posting but WSO won't let me). So, if someone could provide an update to that, that would be much appreciated.
Just search DCM league tables on Google. FYI though, it'll be any major bank with a balance sheet (i.e. just about every BB).
Per your comment above "fixed-income desks" likely refers to the S&T division. iBD is different.
This?
