Skadden (DC) vs O'Melveny (DC) Lit

Torn between the two. I'm interested broadly in litigation, although I'd ideally like to be able to work in both trial and appellate litigation. Chambers & Partners seems to suggest Skadden is the better litigation firm (Band 2 vs Band 4), but AmLaw has consistently ranked O'Melveny more highly over the last decade in its 'Litigation Department of the Year' awards.

For what it's worth, I like the people in both firm pretty well. I probably get along better with the people I've met at Skadden, though.

Thoughts?
