Sophomore summer - PE or IB?

Hi,

I am a sophomore at a non target in New York (Although the alumni network is very strong). This summer, I was lucky enough to get an offer from a small boutique in my home city of Miami to be a summer intern, and was also offered a private equity internship at a small firm in midtown New York. What would be better for my resume?
