BB PWM or No-Name AM

Hi Monkeys - freshman at semi-target (UCLA/USC) exploring local internships for freshman year. Still exploring careers in finance, but long-term goal is either boutique IB or asset management (Adams Street, Blackrock) In my city, there are quite a few different BB wealth management offices and also a few small (10-person, 500-1B AUM) asset management offices. Which would be better for recruiting and experience?
