Deciding Between 2 Internships

For someone who wants to get into M&A and VC longer-term, I am not sure which of these two internships would be a better fit. One is with NYSE Euronext, which would involve experiencing a different aspect of the trading floor every week (i.e ETFs one week, FX another, etc.), while the other is with Annex Advantage. Although I know the trading floor doesn't exactly scream M&A, it is a start. The issue I'm having with Annex Advantage is how well the program translates to full-time offers with banks once the program is completed. Moreover, the program sounds a bit scammy (you pay them $5k). Please give me your feedback regarding which of the two would be a better decision. Thanks!
