Summer Internship for Junior Year

I'm in a bit of a bind here and would appreciate any advice. So I am still waiting to hear back from all of my interviews with Brown Gibbons Lang and Company, a middle market investment banking firm, which has been taking a while. I am currently sitting on an offer from Ernst and Young for Risk Advisory. I still don't know whether I should even work at BGL because I heard the hours are terrible, even when compared to bulge brackets, without all of the resources and exit paths. I also don't know whether Risk Advisory at EY will set me on the career path that I want to go. Should I continue to look for other internships? I am a Junior Finance major at Miami University with a pretty good resume and a 3.8 GPA. I know that the internship I get this summer will have a pretty big impact on my career trajectory, so I would greatly appreciate some input.
