Choosing between M&A, Debt Markets, and Equity Markets

I am interested in doing investment banking and am quite familiar with what each of these are. I would like to know some pro's and con's from experience of what your final level of job will be? My personal targets are: Private equity/ Venture capital, Hedge Fund manager, or Director of a top investment bank.

Anything will help, my current ranking is: Equity > M&A > Debt
