Chances of a Lateral after Summer Analyst Stint?

Where do most people lateral to after their summer internship? Is it always MM to BB, Boutique to MM? 

I am curious about which shops will be hiring full-time the most. Would it be safe to say MMs have the most spots since a lot of people try to switch to EB or BB? 

Specifically asking about MM firms. I am asking from LA, so mainly Rothschild, Raymond James, Houlihan Lokey, Wells Fargo, etc. How many spots open up full-time at these shops normally?
