Choosing junior summer internship for FT MBB

Hi everyone, 

I'm a junior at an Ivy hoping to work FT at an MBB. I've done a BB PWM internship after my freshman year and a partnerships internship at a large tech startup (Airbnb/Uber/Zoom) after my sophomore year. My GPA is close to a 4.0. 

From what I could gather on WSO, it seems like any strategy internship at a recognizable company/F500 would be fine for this summer. But I'm curious if there are companies within F500 that would be more preferable than others. 

More specifically, some of the companies I've applied to for strategy related roles are Adobe, Cisco, IBM, Mastercard, Microsoft, Pepsi, and Pfizer. Would some of these companies look better for FT recruiting than others? I've also read that MBBs want to see not just F500s but companies that are leaders in their industry. Is this true, and if so, which companies on my list would qualify? 

Thanks!
