Summer intern, F500 scientist vs Startup internal strategy vs Deloitte technology consultant

Hello,

I'm an advanced degree candidate looking to apply for MBB in the coming fall. I have several summer internship offers at hand, but am wondering which one will provide me the best preparation towards a career at MBB. 1. Research scientist at F500. I assume this will only be helpful in adding a big name brand to my resume, maybe also the opportunity to develop connection with their corporate strategy department? 2. Internal strategy at a mid-size company. This should give me the most relevant training as a strategy consultant, but the company may have little reputation among MBB. 3. Deloitte technology consultant. This seems to be the most balanced option for me in terms of brand and training.

Personally I'm inclined to the 2nd option, but I would love to hear what you guys think. Any inputs will be highly appreciated. Thanks so much.
