Does internship experiences in hedge funds help the recruiting in IBD?

I got a chance to intern at a hedge fund (not that famous), and I am wondering if this experience helped my ultimate goal of getting into an investment bank. If I can choose between a hedge fund and a boutique investment bank, which one should I go to for an internship?
