From a reputable shop, would you say there are better opportunities at the MM PE level to say transferring to a MF or would the MF still go to the BB'S instead of other PE firms?

Depends on what PE shop and what BB
If GTCR, go to GTCR over a BB
Stone Point Analyst Program
MF lateral as the north star might be a bit overrated unless your goal is to go elsewhere like a HF. The solid MM and UMM teams I work across from get paid just fine and do a lot of similar work and have a lot of responsibilities, just not gonna be on the megcap LBOs like Citrix or Medline or something.
Ultimate goal is HF, would you say an off/on cycle MF offer is possible as an analyst from firms such as Stone Point, GTCR, etc?
I mean I haven't done PE on-cycle so grain of salt but I would imagine you might do a lateral instead of on-cycle, but I'd ask someone who has made that move or any headhunters you might know and 2nd that you can still get a good grand tiger or similar hedge fund from those firms unless you are Pershing or bust guy...which is a bit silly imo
