Sophomore Summer Internship?

I’m currently a student at a non-UK European target improving my CV so I can hopefully snag a top BB in London when I apply for summer internships. I am currently recruiting for Spring Weeks (have an offer from a BB so far) but have been focusing on what to do this upcoming summer. I have two offers that I wanted to get some advice on.

1. F500 Corporate Development Internship: focused on energy infrastructure, potential downside is the firm hasn’t made any acquisitions since a large one in 2018. 

2. National (European Country) Development Bank: two main business units which I could probably choose from or maybe rotate through; credit branch provides loans to businesses and funds infrastructure/sustainability projects, while a VC branch invests in startups and other venture capital funds (fund of funds). 
 

I’m not sure which of the two would get me more looks this upcoming recruitment cycle. Does anyone have any advice/thoughts? Thanks
