Sophomore Summer Internship Comparison

Hi all,

I'm a sophomore at a non-target but well-regarded school, majoring in computer science. I expect to have the option to either intern at a boutique PE firm or attend a prominent business program over the summer. Which would better prepare me for junior summer recruitment this fall? I likely can't do both the program and the internship for timing reasons.

There's also a small chance I land an internship this summer at a boutique bank - I assume that would be the best option of the three?

Thanks!
