Which Intership do I choose?

Currently a soph at a target, which one of these options is best? my goal is bb ibd

I have an offer for: 1. Equity Research at a $500m fund that invests in public companies

I have upcoming interviews for: 2. Real estate merchant banking, legit modelling experience 3. Boutique IB at a good boutique with legit deal flow and experience

If I can manage to get 2 or 3, would it be worth reneging 1? also, which is better among 2/3?

I would say boutique IB, especially if it has good deal flow; it can't hurt to have deal experience on your resume going into your junior year.
