Strategy Consulting VS Transactions/Deal Advisory to break into PE

Looking to get into PE eventually and currently was able to land jobs at either EY Transaction advisroy services doing valuations and financial models. Am also in the process of intervewing for Monitor Delloite strategic consulting and am pretty sure ill get accepted (a few friends already work there and know the partners).

If the ultimate goal is to eventually get into a PE fund which of these is more relevant?
