I would take the BCG offer. Simply put, exit opps are largely the same between the two firms so you should go where you felt most comfortable.
I'd second what SFlemming1 said. I think fit is overall more important, as that will drive how much you enjoy your experience (which will influence performance and your network).
I work at Bain, and while I would argue that you will get more of a chance to work with PE firms and learn about the deal process at Bain, your set of exit options will be the same at either place. If you think BCG is a better fit, go to BCG.
Go with the fit. Plenty of BCGERs in PE and you'll enjoy the experience if you like the people
