Sophomore Year Internship: Which one?

Current sophomore interested in RX but will also recruit for IB/M&A. I have offer for Big 4 finance (think Strategies and Transactions / Valuation). Have interviews lined up for F500/F100 finance rotational internships as well. Would it be better to be networking with boutique shops that are credit/debt/RX/IB oriented and gain experience that way, or will I be fine with one of the two internships listed above?

Please note that due to circumstances I will not be pursuing any IB/PE internship during the summer, so going into recruiting season the only relevant job experience will be my summer 2022 internship (Big 4 Consulting).
