Researc/Valuation , IB or PE for Full-time

I go to a non-target studying econ-finance. I have had 3 internships in; Private Equity, Valuations and Wealth Management all around Boston. The PE firm said if they have any openings they will hire me, and I'm pretty sure my internship in valuations will give me an offer too. The PE firm is a bit small and the firm I'm at now I'm not sure if I want to do this long-term... Do I try to go IB full-time or to a bigger PE firm analyst level?
