Deciding which: Blackstone v.s. Goldman vs. McKinsey

Hi,
After tons of interviews, I am now having a hard time choosing from the three internship opportunities offering by the firms above. I am interested in both Blackstone PE internship and GS IB internship. However, I would like to try the consulting one as well. Please give me some advice on this.

 
STIBOR:
Yeah it's tough. I had a similar conundrum out of undergrad, except mine was GSIP, GS IBD TMT, Blackstone M&A, Sergey Brin's personal assistant, Navy SEAL (with strong exit ops because of family connex to Erik Prince), et al.

Thank you.

I heard rumors that Blackstone's M&A is not that comparable to some of the investment banks because they don't prepare the analysts that well. Is that true? Also, do you have any idea about the private equity division in Blackstone?

It sucks.
