Fortune 500 vs Regional Boutique Sophomore Internship

I am a sophomore at a semi-target with 3.7 GPA looking to lock down an internship for Summer 2019. I am looking to get solid experience on my resume so that I can be in a good position to recruit for BB investment banking for Summer 2020.

My question is:

What would bigger banks value more, a fast growing Fortune 500 company internship in finance or a regional boutique investment bank? What would look better and help me stand out when Junior year recruiting comes around?

Which would look better on a resume?

Thanks.
