T3 Bank corp banking vs. T2 Bank internal consulting? (summer)

Hey guys, so currently I have 2 offers as described in the title.

The T3 bank, though less well-known, has a strong presence in the sector that I got an offer to. Typical work includes debt financing, underwriting, loan syndication, etc.; The internal consulting group is a small team (~80 ppl) within a T2 bank doing strategy/operations/risk internal consulting for its IB group & sometimes for its clients. Both can extend into full-time offers upon graduation.

In the future, I would want to go into PE/VC. I am not sure which option will be better & open more doors, esp next yr if I decide to recruit full-time? Any suggestion is appreciated!!
