Stern Agee IBD or Morgan Joseph TriArtisan IBD (Analyst role)

If given an analyst level offer, which IBD would you chose (for 1st year Analyst role)? I would love to hear from people who are familiar with both. Any one know which IBD is better in terms of deal flow, prestige, comp, growth, etc. Thank you.

The front covers of CIMs, prospectuses, etc.

The TGI Friday's news, I believe, is that they're potentially partnering with Sentinel Capital to buy out TGI...but that's their PE arm (TriArtisan Capital Partners) so I doubt that really affects the IBD too much (except perhaps they are advising on it).

I agree with others - I've seen SA around more often. One of my former banks lifted a team out of Morgan Joseph if that's any indication of how they are doing...
