Status/thoughts on banks not as often discussed

The "prestigious" banks at the top of the league tables are discussed to death on this forum. Any updated thoughts on other banks? Culture, pay, deal flow, "underrated" status for some of the below firms for example?

"MM"
Stifel, Baird, RJ, Lincoln, Piper etc.
Balance Sheet
Wells, RBC, Truist, HSBC, Nomura, BNP etc.
