Sophomore Summer Internship Advice (Analytics vs Boutique)

I am a sophomore at a lower ivy and I have an internship offer this summer at a f500 company in their analytics department. I was wondering if I should take this offer or instead keep looking for a boutique or PWM internship. I am hoping to apply for investment banking summer analyst positions next year. Which one do you think would look better for ib sa recruiting?
