I went to Michlalah more than 20 yrs ago so I can’t respond intelligently. I will tell you that you should ask a trusted teacher or Rov rather than an anonymous group in the coffee room.
One thing I can tell you from my own experience is that your Israel experience is what you make of it. If you are going to E”Y wanting to grow, you will probably do that in either of these two schools.
Hatzlacha to you, and don’t forget to daven for clarity in this matter. I definitely feel that Hashem guided me to the right seminary for my growth at that time.
All the best
