Would VC, HF, or PE jobs have the best lifestyle?

Considering doing buy side recruiting, and I would be interested to try VC, HF, or PE. So which of the three do you think would offer the best lifestyle? And what are the typical tradeoffs (in terms of hours/learning curve/culture/comp/etc.) at a high level?
