Sophomore internship: second-tier consulting or no-name boutique bank

I'm a sophomore at a semi-target looking to break into BB/EB IBD or PE. I have three offers at hand for 2021 summer and would love to get your advise on which one to take.

1. Second-tier consulting firm (think Deloitte/Accenture Strategy) internship in Asia

2. PE/VC boutique internship in Asia (small; < 200mm AUM)

3. IBD boutique internship in the US (small, no-name bank)

Assuming I intend to do FT IBD in the US after college, which offer should I take? I have no real experience in finance and have some experience in consulting. I'm leaning more towards the consulting internship, simply because of its brand name. What do yall think?

Any input is appreciated.
