Quant Risk Management at BB vs ABCD commodity trading

Financially, it makes more sense for me to take the quant risk offer.  But the (physical commodity trading) work at the ABCD is something I'm more interested in.  However, I'll probably not take the return offer for either of these internships.  For recruiting in trading full time or just in general, would taking the Quant role (which is more mid office) put me at a disadvantage?
