Best industry for M&A?

Hi all, I will be interning in M&A at a tier 1B BB next summer. Don't know which idustry to choose. According to you what are the most strategic sectors to work in (in terms of deal value and exit opps)? Also, I would love to choose a sector that will make my resume attractive to other top banks such as GS or JP if I want to join them later in my career. I personally like Healthcare, TMT and CRH. Any thoughts on these sectors?
