Which internship to take - trying to break into LevFin FT

Freshman at non-target here. I'm looking to break into LevFin at a BB Ft. Will be working M&A at a RB this summer (took maybe 300 emails to get that, no connection to firm). For soph summer I've got a larger RB soft offer for M&A group (they do a lot of DCM stuff too), and I've got a soft offer at a debt fund (both with connections). Non-target school doesn't have great network in LevFin but the Debt Fund has a few former MDs from top LevFin BBs. Thought the debt fund would be better but its relatively removed from IB as a whole (they work with PE firms etc). Wdyt?
