The firm I'm going to (in a secondary market) does a ton of this work, so I'll probably end up in that practice group.
Any thoughts on this kind of work? Interesting (relatively, of course)? Pros/cons? Too niche? Growing/declining practice?
Also what are the exit options for a capital markets attorney? And what firms are particularly known for this kind of work?

I don't even know how to handle this question.
Capital markets are the lifeblood of capitalism and is the largest part of what is generally termed as "corporate work." It encompasses equity and debt transactions. The firms that excel are the V5-10.

Word to this, though I think it bears mention that capital markets debt transactions should be distinguished from leveraged finance/bank debt transactions, which most firms seem to separate out (and for good reason). In the latter, your principal docs are going to be the credit agreement, security agreement/guarantee, and UCC shit. This is where your love of secured transactions is really going to shine. In the capital markets space, debt work is geared towards corporate bonds and certain types of derivatives like credit-linked notes, and some hybrid-securities. Your principal docs here are going to be your offering memorandum, some of the SEC paperwork that need to accompany every securities offering, etc.
