No, not really. Though, some will focus on a bit bigger companies (I've seen ones that target revenues of $5-50, some target as low as like 2-10 million or so) so that could be "better" but it's all the same really. The best value for you would be ones with the best management, so if it's an HBS/Stanford guy (generally always are) running it, that will be the one you want as they will have the best backgrounds in general, which means you'll get more knowledge transfer + connections through that.
