Summer Internship options

I need some WSO wisdom on the best summer internship option.

I have two different avenues to choose from for an equity research internship. Both are located in the same city but one is full time unpaid at a boutique shop that focuses on a very niche industry and they are only looking for a single intern, while the other is at a mm firm looking for multiple interns, think Raymond James, its paid and focuses on an industry I am interested in but they cap their interns hours so its essentially less hours than a part time job.

I feel like I will have a more hands on/personalized experience at the boutique shop but that will be adding a firm that no one has ever heard of to my resume.

Thoughts, questions, and suggestions?
