LMM PE vs Corporate Banking Internship?

Need help deciding between a post-junior internship for 2020 Summer. I have internship offers at a LMM PE shop and Corporate Banking. I originally wanted to do IB and am not sure if I want to do PE. If I do Corporate Banking, I will try to switch to IB within 1-2 years. The LMM PE shop has hired a few people from undergrad in the past but I think they send them to get an MBA between associate and VP.

Which should I pick for better career opportunities and better business school placement?
