Are DPW and Cleary on different levels of quality for lit?

Interested in lit; particularly a mix of white-collar and general commercial, with the hope of lateraling to a USAO/SEC at some point. Are DPW and Cleary significantly different in quality of lit departments for my goals? Cleary is Band 1 for White Collar, but Band 3 for general commercial in Chambers, and DPW is Band 2 for both. Cleary has more former AUSAs, and two former acting USAs. Both seem like feeders to SDNY/EDNY, but DPW seems more "prestigious." Should I just choose based on fit? Is QOL going to be different at either?

I'm in a similar situation and I'd also be interested in any comments on this.
