Duff and Phelps Restructuring vs BB PB vs Big 4 TS

D&F appears to be a full-service middle market bank that is well regarded particularly for valuations. I've seen the validity of this debated on WSO, particularly regarding its prestige as a full-service IB and wanted to know more. Would an internship/placement/experience in restructuring at this bank set you up well to move to a BB/EB & offer good exit options vs big 4 TS and a BB private banking offer.

Thanks
