Help on what internship to take between IB and FP&A

I have two opportunities for internships one with a large F100 company doing FP&A. This job does come with a return offer and I probably wouldn't rerecruit if I got it. My other option is a regional boutique investment bank. They do small deals and they told me there wouldn't be a return offer after the summer. I am afraid my GPA will drop to a 3.7 after the summer so that makes me nervous about rerecrutiing. I never knew what I wanted to do which is why I thought two years in IB would help me figure it out but I have always been interested in grinding out the FP&A path. Thoughts?
