Need help choosing pre-IB internship

I'm a sophomore trying to get an IB SA offer. Already have a non-IB BB SA offer for next summer. Which spring internship would increase my chances of getting in?

Option 1: Private Credit Fund with ~$50m AUM

Option 2: Private Equity Fund with ~$100m AUM

Option 3: Corporate Development at a $3b market cap firm

Thanks for any advice.
