Which internship is better for IBD full time?

Is is it better to have an internship in equity research or equity sales and trading if I want to apply to ibd for full time? Assume that both positions are not at BBs and are at equally non prestigious places. I know the answer would usually be research because of the modeling skills but I did equity research the summer after sophomore year so I was wondering if I should try to add more differentiation to my resume.
