PE vs boutique IB vs commercial banking (Sophomore summer)

Hey everyone, my goal is to land a BB IB position as a junior. For reference, I am a non-diversity student at a target school with a 4.0. Please help me decide between these internships:

1 - PE shop with an AUM of 5 billion 2 - classic MM boutique IB shop 3 - commercial banking at think Capital One, TD group, Bank of NY
