LEK v. Accenture internship

Do you think LEK or Accenture is better for an undergrad junior year summer internship and as a potential future employer? For LEK it would be as a SA for consulting, and Accenture has a MC development program that's rotational. As of now I'm interested in the strategy group, which I think the program can lead into. Which option would give me better opportunities and a better skillset? Can anyone help me with pros and cons?

LEK would be in Boston and Accenture in NY, unless I asked to be placed in a different office later. Thanks!
