IB vs PE internship

Wondering whether IB or PE summer internship would position me better for IB post grad. The PE firm is relatively small but I’m confident I could gain some real experience and the IB offer is from a boutique. Any advice helps. I’ve seen posting saying PE, and I’ve seen posting saying IB. Just wondering why people think one positions someone better vs the other

Thanks
