Tech/TMT Banking - Boutiques? NY vs SF/Silicon Valley?

Hey all, Have a general question about TMT/Tech banking. I know that generally the best groups are GS TMT, MS Menlo, Qatalyst, CS, JPM, in that relative order etc. However, I wanted to see if anyone knows how the "elite boutiques" of the world (Lazard, Evercore, Moelis, Greenhill, PWP, Centerview etc) stack up in comparison to the BB's and stack up in comparison to each other. (I know some probably split coverage into TMT and some have pure tech coverage, not entirely sure the full breakdown)

Also, if anyone has any insights on how the quality of the groups in their NY vs SF/Menlo Park/Palo Alto offices compare that would be great. If it helps, I'm thinking more along the lines of what will place best into Large Fund VC/Growth Equity down the road.

Thanks!
