Blackstone divisions ranked?

Blackstone has great brand name and is an overall great firm, but was more curious as to perceptions/public opinion of divisions within blackstone. From what I’ve gathered, the rankings on: 1. Private equity 2. Real estate 3. BAAM 4. SP 5. GSO 6. Tactical Opportunities 7. Infrastructure

Thoughts on divisions and the ranking above? Feel free to correct me

Agree with the comment above about attempting to rank different divisions, but since you are, how can you place the likes of BAAM and SP ahead of GSO. Did you prefer their promotional video on YouTube ? Or did you do any research on their respective histories, IRRs or deals?
