IB SA advice

I was wondering if anyone could help me with my SA options for this summer.

I am looking at BB&T, SunTrust, and some boutiques like Sagent/Harris Williams/Stephens. What are the differences between BB&T/SunTrust (reputation, types of deals) with them both being large regional banks with full service investment banks. Secondly, how would those compare to a solely M&A boutique like Sagent/HW?

Thanks in advance.
