ER at small boutique vs Wealth Management at Merrill Lynch

Hey guys so I was offered 2 internships, one for equity research at a small boutique firm (10 employees) for the summer or wealth management at my local Merrill lynch branch however this internship would be for a full year. I want a career in asset management/equity research which one would be more beneficial for me? The equity research one definitely is more relevant however does the Merrill lynch name on my resume carry more value?
