Exits - does the bank or group you are at matter more? London

Hi Monkeys,
Was wondering what is your take on the following, would you rather take an average group at a top 3 BB (with a possibility to rotate to a better team as an Associate) or a "lower-tier" bank (EB/European BB) at with a "hot" group? 
Considering PE and/or corporate development exits down the road.
