London IB– what to choose

I have two offers for off-cycle internship from a mid IB bank in London (think BNP, ING, Deutsche) and a specialist tech bank (think Arma or Torch). I really can't decide what to choose, the IB bank doesn't do that much M&A (it has a huge balance sheet so it's more DCM) but it pays much more than the specialist bank (which pays below market). What do y'all think I should choose?
