Entry multiple in LBO?

I'm running an LBO for a case study and the prompt was open ended so I made general operating assumptions to growth and margin, capex, NWC, etc.

For the entry and exit multiples, I based it off of select precedent transactions over the last 5 years in the same sector as well as trading multiples for comparable companies (these names were given). Should I do a blended average of the 2 medians from the trading comps and precedents or is it fine to just pick one number from that and go with it? Please help and thank you!
