Valuations or Client Solutions to break into IB?

Hello, I'm in a bit of a dilemma here. I recently just received a SA offer from 2 firms. One is an AM firm with over 1.5T AUM for a Valuations intern role, while the other is a 600B+ AUM firm for a Client Solutions internship. I am currently planning on recruiting heavily for a fall 2025 internship in IB, then finish off undergrad in the spring. Which internship should I choose? I'm leaning valuations as it's closer to my home and will teach me skills more closely aligned with IB, but I'm not sure. 

Any advice?
