PwC vs Goldman (Should I take the better role or company with more prestige?)

Hello, currently I am a junior at a large state school double majoring in MIS and Supply Chain. I have received multiple offers for internships next summer however I have narrowed it down to the top 2:

PwC: Tech Advisory Intern 

Goldman Sachs: Operations Summer Analyst 

I want to take Goldman because of the name for the prestige, as I feel like that will give me better leverage when applying for full-time next year. However, I have heard that advisory is pretty hard to get as an undergrad, albeit it is for tech. In regards to compensation, PwC is a little more, but Goldman has a higher signing bonus, not that I care too much as it is just for intern salaries and I feel like I can renegotiate next year. Which one would you go with for an internship?

My end goal is a cushy industry job with good growth when I graduate or possibly a management consulting role even though tbh I will probably leave in a few years. My long-term goal would be an exec position in the supply chain. I'm not really a finance guy more of a supply chain guy so I don't care about IB or like high finance jobs (I know this is Wall Street Oasis lol) or all that. I just want to have the most leverage when applying for a full-time position next year. Even though I believe PwC might be the better role I feel like having Goldman on my resume will make it pop out more. Let me know what you guys think. 

Thanks in advance for your help.
