Internship Advice - Two internship offers

I am struggling to decide which job I should take for this summer. I currently have two internship offers and I am waiting to hear back on a 3rd place. I have an internship at Merrill Lynch working with Global Wealth Management under a team of executives with no pay, and I have a job at Bank of America within Operations Management Analyst Program, which does pay (and very well). I am not sure which one is a better fit for me, and I do not want to be bias for money or something along those lines. I will be hearing back from J.P. Morgan PWM this week. Any advice?? I am very interested in M&A, as well as hedge funds.

All your options aren't that great. Unpaid pwm at anyplace but many Goldman is a waste. Do the opps that will pay you or JPM if it does too, not a whole lot of difference between pwm and opps in terms of opening up doors.
