Which offer should I take?

Hi monkeys, I'm in the very fortunate position of having received 2 offers this crazy recruiting cycle. These offers are pretty different in nature so I'd appreciate some input from you veterans. 

The first offer is for the Consumer & Retail Group at a solid MM bank (HL, Blair, Cowen) and the second offer is in the Public Finance Group of a top BB (GS, MS, JPM). Given that the work, exit ops, and brand name of the banks are so different, I'd love to hear people's thoughts on pros/cons of each offer. I'm genuinely torn so please pitch in!
