JLL vs CBRE capital markets

Speaking towards OC/LA markets, I was curious between the difference between JLL and CBRE with their d/e or DSF in terms of pros and cons between the two. I know its team or office dependent, but it seems that JLL runs a pool system with their analysts and CBRE with their institutional group is more team focused. Maybe some other offices within CB run the pool system, but this is what i’ve been informed. Would it be a very similar experience between both if the producers at each shop were doing similar transactions and at the same volume. I want to see what you guys think is the better move starting out or if it is more or less the same.
