IBD SA offers... Barcap v JPM v Lazard v CS

Please help, any valuable information in making this decision would help...

I have summer IBD offers for:

Barcap NY CS London JP Morgan NY Lazard NY

Still recruiting with MS PE Real Estate...

Not sure what I want to do, and any advice on any of the firms or in particular comparisons would be useful.

Thanks a lot.

JPM. I know Lazard has a stellar brand name, but unless you know you ABSOLUTELY LOVE FINANCE and want to stay in it as a career, the JPM brand-recognition will be more useful in the future.
