JPM Vs Jefferies Vs Barclays

I am currently a junior at a semi-target who received an offer from JPM for MMBSI SA in NYC and is currently in the interview process for Jefferies Municipal Finance Group and Barclays credit research. Assuming I get the other two offers, which one should I pick: the end goal is to lateral to a IB coverage/product group for Full time. Lastly, I heard I can get a chance to work with some investment banking product groups for JPM’s MMBSI internship and a person I know get an offer from the Financial Sponsors Group at JPM after his MMBSI SA (not sure how feasible it is though). Thanks. All insights appreciated.

JEF Public Finance > JPM MMBSI > Barclays Credit imo. JEF Is the clear winner but I don't know enough about credit research/commercial banking to rank the other 2.
