All other things being equal, I would think MS would be the clear winner, but each firm has different strengths. If you know which groups are giving you offers, which one do you think feels like the best fit for the people you want to work with?

Long-run, if you're good, it doesn't matter if you get hired by Scottrade's market-making group (if they even have one) or Goldman Sachs. What matters most is that you've got intelligent people there that are willing and able to show you how things are done. It's more likely that you'll get really smart people to show you the ropes at Morgan Stanley, but if things really clicked at RBS and the people you spoke with struck you as extremely competent, eager to share their knowledge, and passionate about what they do, RBS may be the better choice in the long-run.
