I think your real question should be "What do I want to do?". If that's investment banking, then go with the investment banking role. The same holds true for your advisory offer and operations. These are all totally different fields. Find what field is for you, and pursue that option. I'm still in school, though, so take my advise with a grain of salt.
I would probably take the Big 4 advisory offer, but go to the superday of Canaccord Genuity.
Take the Superday at Canaccord Genuity and don't look back...

From all of those roles, the most interesting work will be canaccord. From all of those roles you're exit opps will be better from canaccord. From all of those roles your $ will be better at canaccord. From all of those roles, the risk level of losing your job is highest at cannacord, followed by GS at a close second. From all of those your work life balance will be worst at canaccord, although big 4 advisory worklife to $ ratio is probably almost just as equal to canaccord. I think based on the above - if you enjoy investment banking, want to try to exit buyside, or want to make as much $ as possible in your situation, than canaccord is the answer. If you want to enjoy your weeknights, or are worried about possibly losing your job (still highly unlikely as an analyst) than Big 4 or GS, with Big 4 as the winner for the better potential outcome. Gluck in life.
Your much better off going with the middle market bank. Better fundamental training and better exposure. Best of luck!
