Which IB job should I choose? Need advice

I just finished before summer my university studies. What internship offer should I choose for an internship? I never worked in a big bank (I did a summer intenship in a small niche financial consulting firm), so I think a Bulge Bracket company like UBS can help improve my CV. My focus is on career progression. I think the best options are 1 and 2, as I see 3 and 4 as too back-office roles compared to 1 and 2, but I want to hear your opinions if possible:

1. BNY Mellon - Banking services analyst internship

2. UBS - Equity derivates (and structured products) post trading team internship 

3. UBS - AM operations internship

4. HSBC - Product control internship

Thanks in advance for any advice.
