Best Internships for MBB?

I know this has been discussed, but can we talk about what internships are the best junior summer for MBB if you don't make it at MBB for SA?

Some websites say to go the IB SA route, while others say T2s for it will help with case interviews, and others say F500s. For the purposes of students planning out which firms to prioritize, how would you order these categories?
