Boutique Insurance M&A vs MM PE FT Analyst

I am deciding right now between working as an Analyst at a PE arm of a F500 (coming to America to start making acquisitions in the US) OR joining a very boutique advisory shop that focuses on Insurance. One is Ibanking while the other is PE, but the PE job would have better industry coverage and I wouldn't be silo'd into Insurance, which is in already niche sector of FIG.

Anyone who has done an analyst stint at a PE position, can you speak up how it compares to pretty classical banking roles?
