Which would you choose? - All willing to help me get a position

Hey guys,

I haven't gotten a formal offer so don't come hounding at me asking to get an offer before I ask. I'm really just interested in opinions. I have made a couple of really good connections with VP's, Partners, and Associates and have been keeping in contact a lot in the last couple of months. They are all really willing to help me get a position at their company so I wanna put the effort into the one that would be best for my future (obviously not counting the other ones out). Im a Non-target undergrad junior and want to end up in PE at some point down the line, so here are some Internship opportunities (again I'm only asking for hypothetical opinions, what would you take?):

IB at a BB (MD is a good friend of mine and said he will push for me)

MBB (overseas office, I know an Engagement Manager, Associate and Partner, and the Partner said i would still have to go through the recruiting cycle but they would all pull for me)

PE firm (headquartered in NYC) with 4 Billion AUM, but the gig would be overseas and they don't work PE there but rather Private Banking. But if I could prove myself over the summer it could possibly lead to a PE gig once i graduate within this firm.

Ya I was leaning more towards the BB and thats probably my highest probability due to the fact that he is a good friend. My second option would be the MBB but I would still have to do the recruiting cycle and deal with HR and all that crap (case studies and online tests) so will not be easy, and the Private Banking gig was pretty much promised but don't know if its something worth it... how hard do you guys think it would be to go from PB Summer Intern to PE full-time within the same firm? I know they have hired undergrads before.
