Weight of length of internship?

This maybe a no brainer but I might as well throw it out there. By the time fall recruiting comes around I'll have completed a 9 month (spring/summer) associate internship at a MM boutique. How much weight does this hold over the typical ~12 week summer internships? TIA

Is this all after graduating?

It's not really about length but about the quality of experience. Figure out which place is allowing you to develop the necessary skillset for the positions you want in the future.

All things being equal I would probably take the lengthier internship with the more established firm. It will give you more time to develop your skills and to network while still having a job in case nothing comes along quickly.
