Help deciding on junior summer offers (IB vs Consulting)

Hi, I need help deciding on internship offers for my junior year. Currently deciding between CB at a top cash heavy bank (JPM/CITI/BOFA/WF) vs consulting at Oliver Wyman. Both offers are in NYC and for each firm's best coverage (finance consulting for OW).

Priorities, somewhat in order: pay, wlb, exit opps (including MBA opps), interest of work, prestige. All of these are pretty important though. Let me know what you guys think. I'm really at a crossroads here.

Which should I choose?
