Rotational programs - Best group combinations?

I'm a recent grad starting at a MF rotational analyst program in a few weeks but am having trouble deciding which groups to push hard for and which would best complement each other. Options are in PE, RE, debt, infrastructure, and in house consulting. Most asset classes have a directs/LBO team and a FoF team. A lot of the groups sound interesting and useful in different scenarios (e.g. staying at the firm long-term vs. wanting to start my own fund way down the road vs. doing in house consulting and joining industry later on, etc.) but I'm not certain where I'd want to end up long-term. I know I want to do a rotation in PE directs for the technical experience but not certain what other 1-2 rotations I should do to help me perform well at the firm while also giving me the most/best options down the road. Any thoughts?
