Would you rather hire...?

I'm curious, if a friend of mine (and yes, actually a friend) had to choose between two internships, and she's interested in getting into an elite boutique first, and then a bulge bracket second, which would you prefer to see on her resume (she's about to head into FT recruiting)? I'm trying to give her advice (and failing), so I'm looking you WSOers to help me out.

A 2nd boutique investment banking gig (she already has a previous boutique ibd internship) or running a business at an accelerator?

Thanks a bunch.

Best, BankingWaffle
