Stephens vs. Canaccord

Hi all - I was wondering if somebody had any insights on Stephens vs. Canaccord Genuity, in particular their M&A teams? 

A friend recently asked me about them and I was looking for info but it's hard to find so I thought I'll post it here since I'm currently considering for either of them. I think from an outside view both of them are really interesting. I also noticed that seems to have Stephens a better footprint in Europe and all the people Canaccord acquired with Hawkpoint moved to Stephens once they shut down their family office.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and input.
