To the point aren't we :-) I guess the question(s) would be:
Which one?
How long?
In what capacity?
What was your experience?
Would you recommend one over the other?
How did it help/hurt your career?

Excellent. I would argue against going to B-School based on the Mck Knowledge System. The firm has an "up or out" culture. I opted out because the consultant lifestyle was not for me. Besides I like to create value not just maximize it ;)
Can't say if i recommend one over the others due to the lack of exposure to other firms. Only knew the boys of Bain and BCG, thought their firms were top notch.
It was my first job out of college, so I definitely learned a lot, both consulting and how companies operate. Pretty solid name on the resume, helped me network to my current job in I-Banking. Solid network, people go to business school to achieve the same kind of network.
