Corporate Banking vs. Private Bank Internship for Career Path

I recently got an offer to work in the Private Bank for a BB, but I already have an outstanding offer to work in the Corporate Banking arm for a low BB/high MM (think WFC). My ultimate job I'm looking for is in Hedge Funds, and while I've been trying to get into IB, these are the best two offers I've had so far. If it means anything, the PB job is closer to me and pays better, but I know the CB job is lumped in with the investment bankers. I'd really appreciate any input on how I should approach this.
