Which product group translates best to coverage?

I’m doing a sophomore summer in capital markets at a mid-tier BB and would like to transition to a coverage group for my junior summer. Which group out of ECM, DCM and LevFin is most translatable to coverage work (M&A product not an option obviously).

To be more specific my preferred coverage groups are FIG and Sponsors, although also somewhat interested in consumer and TMT groups.

Should I just choose the product my bank is best known for to have the most interesting deals on my resume? (ECM is strongest I believe not 100% sure)
