SA Decision: MM Boutique vs BB CCB vs Large Tech Corporate Finance

Currently a junior at a semi-target and in the process of deciding between 3 offers for this upcoming summer: Middle Market Boutique bank with a decent reputation in NYC (def not Jefferies, HL, etc), Corporate Banking at a top BB, and corporate finance at a top tech firm in California (Google/Facebook/Microsoft). My definite aim is to recruit for a FT position at a BB at the end of the summer.

Which one of these offers would set me up for FT recruiting the best? I understand that working at the boutique would provide the most applicable experience, but would the brand name of either the BB or tech firm help me stand out?
