What are some good Broker-Dealers for Independent Agents?

I'm an independent sell-side agent looking for a broker-dealer placement that ideally has a network of buy-side relationships, agents, and RIAs I can either syndicate with or solicit to. There seems to be a lot of variation in the fixed fees charged and their network, so any suggestions would be valued.

PS: I see a lot of broker-dealers for wealth managers, but this is not for insurance or wealth management, but sell-side equity raise and M&A.
