IB or Consulting

I'm interested in doing M&A advisory work post MBA but in my applications I'm not sure whether I should select "Consulting" or "Investment Banking" as my post-MBA target industry. Given that M&A work is done by banks, management consulting firms, public accounting firms, I'm not sure really where it falls! Ideally I'd like to join a boutique bank with an advisory focus but I don't want to limit myself to just this option. Does it make sense to pick "Consulting" as my target industry if I'm targeting advisory focused shops like Greenhill and Lazard? 
Any thoughts from people in the industry would be much appreciated!

Thanks jordanhendrix. What is the difference between the advisory services an advisory focused ibank would provide and what Mckinsey's corporate finance arm would provide? Neither of them do underwriting/issuing/raising capital and they both would do due diligence/valuations/strategy advising?
