hard time deciding between EB offers and BB diversity offers

hi guys very sorry to create the 1 millionth thread on this, but am having a tough time deciding between early mid tier BB offers (BAML/CS/Citi/Barclays) and EB offers (Moelis/PWP/Lazard). The only thing I care about is prestige, clout, and exit opps to be blunt. Leaning EB but was hoping to get some updated perspectives, because this is how I'm thinking about it right now:

BB:EB GS/MS : PJT, EVR, CVP JPM: LAZ, MOE, PWP BAML/Citi/CS/Barclays: Guggenheim/Greenhill UBS/DB: Rothschild, Jefferies, HL

Apologies if you find this annoying but thank you so much!

Moelis for the generalist experience, better pay, and better exits. Followed by Lazard and then JPM.
