Intern Decide - Valuation Associate (D&Phelps) vs BB Asset Management (BAML,JPM, etc)

Ultimate goal is BB or MM IBD however coming from non-target/semi-target school what would be a better summer analyst gig and ultimately 1-2 years as analyst - Asset Management at a BB firm or doing deal valuation at a shop like duff and phelps? Essentially, what has more transferrable skills if can't land ib?
