AM Equity Trading Internship or PE Sophomore internship

Hello WSO, I am currently in my first internship as a buy-side equity research summer analyst at an RIA with $30B+ in AUM. I've loved the experience so far, and my team is pointing me to other opportunities afterward. 

I have an opportunity to intern with the same company at a different office that primarily handles equity trading for clients and the company's portfolio. Additionally, there are two leads for private equity internships at two separate LMM firms (one is ~$200M AUM and the other is ~$1.1B AUM). Heading into 2028 IB SA recruitment, which internship would serve me best in recruitment?
