T1-2 firms: Strategy/Management Consulting or Finance/Valuation/DDV/etc branches?

Opinions on applying for the strategy/management consulting arms of XYZ firm versus their finance arms? Think Monitor Deloitte, EY-Parth, etc. 

Don't particularly think I'll be ending up in IB at any point, so I guess it's a more general pro/cons. 

Very open question
