I think your best bet would be taking the boutique IB simply bc due diligence is a lot more accounting focused. Although it depends on what you do during the summer you will be better prepped for the consulting job by working at the boutique.

Due diligence usually means you are checking the assumptions (models, math, whatever) of your client rather than advising, or as Gekko would say, "creating". I would take boutique IB unless your boutique is a complete unknown, then I'd consider going with the known quantity.
