Career Trajectory to PE

Hey everyone, this summer I'll be interning with a balance sheet bank in the southeast working with leveraged loan portfolios (in their IB). In the long term, I would like to get into PE preferably in the south and I know it'll be much harder if I'm not in M&A or LevFin.  With that being said, when recruiting, do PE firms weight M&A experience or LevFin experience more heavily? I believe the bank is stronger overall in LevFin, but I've had an internship at a regional boutique in M&A so that might help me get into M&A.  I'm hoping to network my way into either of those divisions after the internship, so any direction would be helpful!
