Lesser Known MMs vs Boutique PE Firms

Hey guys, I'm in a position where I'm basically looking at offers from two really small (and not well-known) private equity firms and a couple MM IBs(not that well-known as well) out of undergraduate. My main goal is getting into a good business school at this point as I'm not 100% sure what I want to do in the long-run. How should I go about making the decision?
