summer internship question

for an internship between sophomore and junior years, how much weight do where you work and what you do respectively carry?
i've heard that its important just to get something finance related this summer, just to demonstrate interest in finance, and that 'name' internships like BB PWM internships are good even though you don't do much. But i've also heard from some people that what you do matters very much too.
I hope to get into hedge funds as soon after graduation as possible, so would a busy-work internship at a hedge fund this summer or a slightly more analytical random business internship at some no-name business be better?
