HF vs MM IB hs internship

Hi, I'm debating between interning at a HF or MM IB firm for the last two weeks of my senior year. If I am looking for a BB/EB internship eventually (especially if I will be attending a target/semi target), which will help me more? Will the MM internship give me the excel/modeling basics to do a good job as a summer analyst? I think the HF internship would be cooler and more intellectually stimulating, but I see the practical drawbacks of trying to make the HF industry an entry level venture.

1000% do the hf internship. Nobody at a BB is going to look down on you for doing that while in high school, you can do ib once you get to college. It’ll be more intellectually stimulating, give you more to talk about in interviews, and you’ll probably have more free time to vape (or whatever hs kids do)
