What are the pros and cons of each? Is there a clear choice for someone interested in litigation/regulatory/govt. facing work?

I agree that Covington is the clear winner here for OP's regulatory / government facing goals, but this is a pretty simplistic take. For appellate work, A&P would clearly be the better firm. For antitrust, neither Covington nor W&C hold a candle to Cleary. There will never be one clear "best firm" in a given market.

Covington is the best firm in DC because it's the top firm across the widest array of practice groups. You can always find smaller firms that are strong in a niche area
