Top 20 Asset Manager working Internal Audit or Top 10 Insurance company working Property/Casualty desk?????

I am a junior who received 2 offers for a summer 2020 internship. I want to work in front office finance but am unsure specifically what arena I have interest/talent in such as PE, HF, BB, etc (if I can even break in). Would it be better for me to work at an asset management firm (in the top 20) as an internal audit to learn atleast some relevant skills about AM or should I work as an underwriting analyst at a top insurance firm where I work on property/casualty where I can learn some risk evaluation skills? Extremely lost and naive about the finance world but eager to start learning from the bottom.
