What is the best division in Investment Banking?

I just accepted an internship in DCM in a Canadian Big Five and I wanted to know what's the overall opinion on DCM. From what I read on this page, a lot of people hate ECM because there isn't much work/movement. Will DCM be the same? If so, then what are usually the most interesting divisions in IB? Between M&A, Lev Fin, coverage, etc.?
