Lev Fin vs M&A for MM PE

Interested in both M&A and Lev Fin at a bank I have an offer with. For background, Lev Fin definitely has more deal flow but they don't run with the model. M&A doesn't have nearly as much deal flow but the modeling experience would be a huge advantage.

Want to exit to a boutique or MM PE shop outside of NY, would M&A or Lev Fin be better to go with?
