Hi, based on what I observed last cycle, firms usually treat all their vacation schemes equally. So you wouldn't be at an advantage or disadvantage by applying for one scheme over another. Additionally, both are usually similarly competitive. However, one thing to note is that winter/spring vacation schemes (December ones) are usually attended exclusively by those who are NOT on a student visa, since visa holders are barred from working during term time (which these schemes often coincide with). Summer schemes on the other hand, allow them to attend since they are usually on summer break. That being said, I would say base your choice on your availability during each window, your prioritisation of firms (i.e. people often apply to different schemes for their top choice firms to avoid a situation where they have to drop out of one scheme for another in case they make it to both), and how many options firms provide (i.e. if one of your top choice firms only provides a summer scheme and another offers three schemes, you could choose an alternate scheme for the other firm).
Hope this helps, all the best!
!! I would personally wait to include it as currently Graduate Recruitment will not be able to see our tangible responsibilities and impacts.
