good valuation firm or boutique IB

Hey, all, I am a rising senior working at a boutique this summer that has expressed interest in keeping me on through the fall and full-time as I graduate at the end of the fall. However, I hold an offer from a valuation firm to start next December that consistently places analysts at mm firms after a year or two. The boutique is fairly new and is small but has good deal flow. Which option would be better to move over to MM firms?
