If you eventually want to do PE, a BB would definitely be a better choice:

  1. Better reputation, harder to get in - demonstrates you're a very competitive candidate with well trained backgrounds;

  2. You'd have exposure to more high profile deals at a BB than at a smaller firm like Jefferies;

If I were you I'd choose whichever BB you have an offer.
