Fall Internship Decision Help

So I have had past internships in not so great parts of finance like audit / litigation / regulation. I had a bunch of interview for fall positions and am down to 3 choices.

2 of them are boutique PE shops looking to acquire and operate one company between 5-50mil rev, one has 1 maniging partner and one has a managing partner and a partner, and 3 interns each. The job would be mainly proprietary so industry research, finding company info, mass emails, calls if theyre interested and a little more research if we are still interested. One of them is a virtual internship and I can do from campus.

1 is a boutique business valuation internship at a firm that focuse son mainly illiquid securities and private companies. That would be mainly industry research, report writing, some involvement in models and model formating. I also have the chance to work with the portfolio valuation team when I am not busy.

I am really not sure what i want to do as this is my first actual finance/industry internship but i think valuation, equity research, trading sound most appealing to me. However, future interest aside what do you think would give me the best experience?
