Which group would be best to target an exit from IB Associate to a PE role in Florida?

This summer I will be interning as an Associate and operating as a generalist at a MM bank. If I earn a return offer, I will need to choose from one of the following groups for a full-time role: Industrials, Tech & Services, Consumer, or Healthcare. 

My goal is to relocate to Florida and ideally pursue PE after ~3 years in banking. I think working in Healthcare or Consumer would make me a more attractive candidate given my cursory read of Florida-based MM PE firms.

Does this make sense? Or does it really not matter which group I work full-time in?
