Product Control vs Asset Management

I know these two areas are quite different in nature, but I have offers for a Product Control summer internship at a Japanese Investment Bank and and Asset Management internship at a European Asset Management firm. Considering that at the moment, my end goal is to secure a trading graduate role, which offer do you think would be most useful. I feel that the Product Control role would give me the network to switch over within the same bank, but the Asset Management one is more relevant and useful to trading roles. Thank you for your help!
