IBM CBD vs Capital One BA vs Blackstone Innovations Division UX/BA Intern

I have offers for internships with IBM's CBD entry level consulting, Capital One's Business Analyst, and The Blackstone Group's Tech/Innovations Division doing User Experience. I would be doing app development and analytics regarding that field at Capital One and designing tools uses by Blackstone and its clients at Blackstone. The pay is pretty different for the different positions, if that matters.

I'm interested in the tech space and hope to either pursue management/strategy consulting or a role at a tech company full time but mostly don't know what I want to do.

What are the pros and cons of each firm/position?

Additional Questions:
1) Is IBM's CBD program generally implementation or strategy tech consulting?
2) Which company has a better reputation given my future goals?
3) Which company/position would open the most doors open for full time recruiting?
4) Which company has the best internship/training program?
5) What is it like working in the Blackstone Innovations Division?
