What are the best teams in a Big 4 Financial Advisory division to jump to IB?

Hello, I have worked for almost 3 years in Audit at a Big 4 company, and I am doing some politics with Partners to jump to the Advisory arm of the firm. My ultimate goal is to lateral to Investment Banking in 2 years. I will try to get a spot in the leading M&A team, but probably I will land in other team within Financial Advisory. From best to worst, how would you rank the following teams by probability to land a job in IB afterwards? (Assuming Corporate Finance will come first, I am curious about the others).
