Big4 Deals Advisory vs BB Client Coverage

I am currently a Year 2 university student (we have 4 years) and I recently got two offers, one from a big 4 deals advisory team, another from a BB client coverage. I want to get into investment banking when I graduate and the reason why I am struggling between the two is because the client coverage role in the BB is put under commercial banking instead of investment banking. The job description includes (financial modelling, market research and also deals stuff but loans and credit are also involved). I am afraid that taking the BB offer would ruin my chances in IBD. Yet I need a better brand on my CV. Could anyone offer me some insight into making this decision? Thanks!
