HF vs. FoHF vs. Boutique IB

I am deciding between a Hedge Fund, Fund of Hedge Funds or a boutique IB for a summer internship. Assuming I have previous IB experience, which of these shops would give me the experience needed for junior SA positions next year at BBs? I am still undecided whether I want to pursue IBD or S&T so I am leaning towards the HF or FoHF. My logic is that either one of these places can complement my resume for S&T since I already have the IB experience. However, how would a HF compare with a FoHF in terms of how they are perceived for recruiting?

Any thoughts? Thanks for the help.

 

HF is way better than A FOF. Also, depending on its strategy it might help you with banking.
