FIG IBD at MM Bank or Private Equity at Boutique for Sophomore Internship?

Both are located in Dallas. The reason why I question the FIG internship is because I don't want to pigeonhole myself into FIG for my junior year recruiting. I'm at a target (think Ross, McIntire, Stern) but networked into Dallas internship for this summer. At the PE firm, I'd be valuing companies, contacting brokers, analyzing CIMs, etc. At the FIG bank, I actually don't know what I'd be doing really. Offers at both. Wish to get into Healthcare, TMT group for jr. year SA gig. Will taking the FIG gig exclude me from TMT & Healthcare groups during recruitment? Or does it not really matter for a sophomore internship?
