You gave us very little info. I would pick MS, but it depends which culture you fit into the best because (at least in London) Rothschild and MS are big names. Congrats and good luck!
If I am honest I preferred the people at Rothschild as they seemed after more than just someone who can do the technicals, which I think says a lot about the people there (if they all went through the same process). But the MS name can really open doors for PE/ Business School etc can it not?
In Continental Europa I would choose Rothschild, in the US Morgan Stanley but in London it is a tough decision. Both are excellent in London.. Read this, maybe it helps you:

roths are on pretty much every sell-side these days but i'm not sure you can request just M&A on roths' internships. you could get debt advisory or restructuring, restructuring is weak.
Roths in NY at least at the SA level is pure generalist (restt & M&A). you get placed into the speciifc product once FT starts. Roths in London has huge presence too (biggest office). If you liked the people there I'd pick Roths. Name wise MS might be more global, but Roths London is VERY well known...pretty much on every deal in europe involving advisory.
Source: went to superday, kept in touch with the bankers in the NYC office. really liked the people there and was impressed.
I think the problem with Rothschild's huge dealflow is that you can end up on a lot of deals you're really not interested in, low value, no-name-no-impact companies etc. Obviously this isn't a problem for everybody, but it was one of the mains reasons given by both Roth alumni I've met for moving to different firms.
OP,
So you have an SA offer from Rothschild? I have an interview coming up with them as well, I PMd you asking for advice if that's alright.
Here's my advice for NY ONLY - if you have any interest PE/HF/Corp Dev/Corp Strategy, DEFINITELY take the MS offer. This is a no brainer. I've met people who have worked at Rothschild M&A in NY and who subsequently moved to a BB M&A group.
What did you take? I'm doing the Roths internship next summer as well. Does anyone know anything about groups? I've been asked to give a preference but kind of in the dark
