Which would you choose? LMM PC vs PCA (EVR/LAZ/JEF) for an off-cycle?

Title is simple enough. Currently choosing between two opportunities and would love some advice from more senior monkeys as both seem to have pros and cons. I feel I would enjoy PC more given I like analysing companies and enjoy PC investing (more than IB). However comp is night and day and ultimately long-term career prospects may be divergent unless I can move from LMM PC to UMM / MF PC (which is unlikely). 

Thought?
