Big 4 v Treasury Internship

Hey everyone, 

Been on this forum for a while since HS and have always wanted to work on breaking into IB. Currently a freshman at a non-target and landed an offer to big 4 audit and another offer for treasury at a smaller company (abt 5k employees) for this summer. Given I want to break into IB next summer/summer after, which one do you guys think I should take in order to best position myself for IB recruiting? Been pretty confused about which direction to go and would really appreciate some insight from those already in the industry. 

Thank you
