If and Else Statements - RoR

Question

I am trying to make a navigation if and else statement

-----> if a admin is logged in it renders admin login links

-----> if a user is logged in it renders user login links

-----> if customer is logged in it renders customer links

-----? else render guest links

Here is the code that works but when a customer is logged in it works just fine because the else statement for the guest links is right under the customer if statement. when i go to log into the admin or user it still shows the guest links. so if someone could help me out that be fantastic!! here is my current code....-------V

    <% if admin_signed_in? %>
      <%= render '/layouts/admin' %>
    <% end %>

    <% if user_signed_in? %>
      <%= render '/layouts/user' %>
    <% end %>

    <% if customer_signed_in? %>
      <%= render '/layouts/customer' %>

    <% else %>
      <%= render 'layouts/guest' %>

    <% end %>

You could go with elsif:

<% if admin_signed_in? %>
    <%= render '/layouts/admin' %>
<% elsif user_signed_in? %>
    <%= render '/layouts/user' %>
<% elsif customer_signed_in? %>
    <%= render '/layouts/customer' %>
<% else %>
    <%= render 'layouts/guest' %>
<% end %>

or make a switch statement, something like this:
