Big name FP&A vs small name IB internship for sophomore summer

Got offers for an FP&A internship at a big name insurance corporation as well as an offer at a LMM IB shop for my sophomore summer. Wondering which I should take? I already have a C tier IB offer for junior year summer but it’s not at the best firm so I may try my hand at MBB or rerecruit. I’m wondering which internship would be best for my goals?
