Splitting hairs or meaningful differences???

First, a little bit about myself. I am an aspiring summer intern at an EB that plans to eventually go into the buyside. I'm mainly looking at Evercore and PJT for M&A advisory as well as Moelis for its generalist platform. Constantly on this website I see rankings, but I've often wondered if there are really any significant differences between these firms in terms of exits/experience or is it just splitting hairs and down to personal preference?

 

I am either actively networking with good connections, having interviews, or already have offers from them. I just want to know if there are quantifiable differences between the firms and do not believe that having offers in hand from all three is a prerequisite to asking the question.
