Valuation and Financial Opinions or Operations to break into IB

I have two offers for summer analyst positions. I can work for Stout Risius Ross in Michigan in their Valuation and Financial Opinions Group at $20 an hour or I can work at JP Morgan in NY in their Operations group for $25.50 an hour and a $1,500 signing bonus. Which will put me in the best position for a full-time investment banking position next year?
