Confused about FT Recruiting, and what is worth it to approach?

Looking to get some opinions on this. Will be going to a T2/T3 RX shop from a target and not sure that I'm all that interested in RX, but want to make sure that I'm thinking about re-recruiting for FT correctly and not making a choice that's going to be worse off than my current firm. 

Right now I was thinking for sell-side roles looking at some BBs [GS, MS, JPM] and other boutiques for M&A [EVR, PJT, LAZ, MOE]. I know it's a narrow range but I feel like those are the only ones that would be worth trading up to from what I have right now and just trying for a return offer. Also uncertain about the product group dynamic and recruiting directly into them because part of the reason I had even taken the RX interviews was because I knew RX was generalist. 

As for the buy-side I think I'd prefer that since that's what I'd want to do long-term, but I'm somewhat agnostic when it comes to roles which I know isn't optimal. I could see myself starting in PE or in a pod shop - I've enjoyed stock pitching a lot during college but didn't mind my experience last summer at a small PE firm and thought it was cool to get experience on the operational side. 

I honestly think I could go for either and do pretty well, so am going to apply to the MF programs [WP, SLP, BX, KKR, am I missing any?], as well as MMHF [MLP, CAP, P72]. I'm somewhat prepared with stock pitches on deck already and had prepped PE for SA recruiting and am still comfortable with the content. 

Not sure if I should be applying to stuff like Insight, KKR growth, etc., or if I should be more or less targeted - not sure if it's the same numbers game as SA recruiting was. I'd appreciate any advice from people who've gone through the process of FT, I know it's less structured and can move fast so want to make sure I'm ready since it seems like firms are already opening apps.
