ER at a small AM firm or credit analysis at a medium-sized bank?

Freshman looking for a finance internship. I have 2 main options: Equity research at a tiny AM firm (30~ people) and "credit" analysis at a medium-sized bank. My goal is to obtain an IB internship later on. Which is best suited for me?
