Long-term goal being VC / PE - should I go to LBS / INSEAD for a MIM?

As stated in the title. In the long term, I want to do VC / PE. Not necessarily in London, as I see myself settling down in my home country. 

Short-term, I aim to start in consulting. Given that both schools give great options to enter consulting, which school would probably yield the best VC / PE opportunities in the future? Emphasis being on VC.
