Boutique IBD vs JP Morgan Treasury Services

Hey guys, was looking to get some advice.

Im a 3rd year student. I have a summer analyst offer from JP Morgan Treasury Services (NY -- this is front office) and also a couple of internship offers from boutiques, such as GCA Savvian (SF), PNC Capital Markets (PIT), and potentially Duff & Phelps (CHI or NY). The goal is to go into BB IBD. Which would position me best for Full-time recruiting? I'm leaning toward JPM as the group seems to work very closely with IBD and I can potentially network my way in, and if not I'll be in NY so there are more opportunities. Thank you guys ahead of time.

I would pick GCA because I interviewed there for FT and my experience was great. Networking is iffy because you never know. at least with GCA you have 3 month experience in IB tech and that counts for something. I have seen few people lateral from GCA to Goldman and other BB so its a good start.
