Would you take a top group at HL or UBS/WF/DB

Would you prefer a top group at Houlihan (HC/C&R/Industrials) or a solid group at a lower tier bb/balance sheet bank like UBS/WF/DB
 

edit - specifically for looking for solid MM exits not MF exits

Definitely not WF from what I've seen in exits, but DB (historically) for sure and probably UBS too

 

I would rank UBS as the highest. Then HL, then WF. I'm not sure where to put DB - it's just been so variable recently. Ultimately, if you have an offer at UBS, take it. If not, then HL.
