Fixed Income Research or Valuations Internship?

I have received an offer from a large asset manager/lifeco to join their Fixed Income Research team and another offer from a mid-market firm to join their Valuations team this summer. Which position would give me a better chance of exiting to AM/WM? Which position has the better exit ops, in general?
