Should I take a MM IB or PE internship pre MSF?

I am an incoming MSF candidate at one of the top US MSF programs- I've had a F500 FP&A internship and am currently completing a regional boutique (~5 headcount) internship (this is my 5th month).

I've had luck networking and have solid leads for two internships- the first being a (I believe lower tier) middle market bank in Tech (~50 headcount), and the second being a strong Healthcare PE fund.

I'm looking to go into IB after my MSF degree- would sticking with IB for now translate better to full time recruitment in the Fall?

The PE internship has a stronger name brand, but perhaps the transferrable skills/day to day at the investment bank would be more aligned with my short term career goals; but then again, I can already speak to many of those skills thanks to my current regional boutique position.

I also have the very intriguing option of a PE internship abroad, in Singapore (I am from the US). This would be perhaps a distinguishing point on my resume, and personally very intriguing (I would love to live abroad). 

Longer term I want to try to aim for a T7 MBA and then private equity/senior position in Tech Corp Fin. 

Thanks!!
