Top MM vs Lower BB for SA 2024?

Hi everyone, I'm lucky enough to have landed two offers for SA 2024. One is at a top MM (think William Blair, DC Advisory, HL Rx) and another at a mid/lower BB (think UBS, Citi, Nomura). So as the title says... do you think I'd be better off in terms of exits/prestige/culture going to a top MM (if WB I'd aim to go tech and if DC I'd aim to go infra) or going to the more prestigious bank overall in the BB? thank you
