IBD for Boutique firm in London vs. Tier 1 in Asia

Hi I'm a second year student at university in the UK and am applying for my final summer internships. I managed to get positions for IBD with Lazard in London, DB in HK and CS in Singapore. I'm not really sure which to pick; any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Also is it difficult to enter the bulge brackets via lateral hire? Thanks
