Advice on internships - Scenarios

Starting next July, I'm doing a gap year to do 1 year of internship and I wanted to know which of these scenarios were the most meaningful, considering that I plan to do PE.

I've already spoken to a newly established fund that would be willing to take me on for a 6-month internship in either PC or PE.

On the other hand, I've also had positive feedback for a 6-month role in a large PE (Growth Equity) fund.

I've also had some leads for a 6-month IB in a BB.

I wanted to know if I had better time to do 2x 6-month PE internships (or PC for the first 6 months) or if it would be better to first do 6 months of IB and then do a PE internship?
