Mizuho Corporate Bank Acquisition Finance SA vs. Houlihan Lokey FAS Group SA

I am wondering if anyone could speak about the differences between Mizuho acquisition finance group and Houlihan's FAS group for a summer internship. Would one be looked at as better for full-time investment banking opportunities or future Private Equity opportunities. Obviously Houlihan has a better name but I think being in Mizuho's acquisition finance group might help me build better skills. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
