             I like the fact that you are clear and serious about your articleship.
My suggestion would be, go with what you feel is going to be good for you. If you want an all round exposure, go for a mediocre fim. If you wish to specialize, definitely Big 4 is a better option.
One thing you must note that with small firms - quality and size of clients will be different. Learning at smaller clients will be less. Exposure is definitely better in good clients - big in their operations. So consider that.
And, don't waste too much of your time in finding the right articleship.
Use these as guidance and All the Best!
