DCM vs Consulting

I'm curious to see opinions on taking a job in DCM at a middle-market investment bank vs taking one doing financial restructuring/distressed debt consulting work for a financial consulting company. Both offers are for a summer associate internship. End goal would be to work in HE/PE, and am curious if either would be better than the other to help get to this.
