Deciding between which internship program to pursue next summer

I am a rising college sophomore at a target school. I am currently interviewing for 3 potential offers. Which offer would benefit me the most? I am not sure which finance path I want to pursue, but I am definitely considering investment banking/private equity/credit as potential options I want to explore in the future.

The offers I am considering:
Investment Research w/ Direct Lending @ Fidelity
Equity Research Internship @ Raymond James
Investment Management @ Vanguard

Thanks in advance!
