Secondary PE vs. Co-investing vs. Fund of PE Funds

I am looking to have interviews at firms with following strategies: 1) secondary PE; 2) co-investing PE; 3) fund of PE funds. I'm struggling to come up with reasons why I'd prefer any of those strategies vs the others, and vs traditional MM PE. And I mean for both reasons to state in an interview, and reasons in my head why I'd prefer one to another. Can anyone give their opinion or point to other resources where I can learn a lot more about these fields and develop some points to convey in my interview about why I want to join that specific strategy vs. the others?

Thanks
