Help! Off cycle internship: Piper Jaffray for muni IB (Los Angeles) or Scotiabank for ECM (NYC)

Basically the title, I'm a sophomore with two internship offers and I'm having trouble deciding. I'm not sure which will set me up better for the long run since I've heard getting into ECM early can limit your ability to switch into general IB/M&A, but muni IB obviously is more debt versus equity focused. As a side note I'll also be applying to SA positions in the fall. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
