London Internship - Which one to choose?

I have to choose between the two offers I have for an off-cycle internship. The end goal is to use these to land interviews at top BBs or EBs. Which one would be better?

1. At one of the UMMs - Think Permira, CVC, Eqt

2. In an MM IB - Think Macquarie, Jefferies, William Blair

I have been more inclined to the second option as this could convert to full time but the UMM PE won't. However a quick search on Linkedin shows that a vast majority of the prioir interns at the PE fund have gotten into the top 5 IBs or EBs

How should I go about this? Thanks a lot :)
