Which internship is better- finance or commercial banking?

Despite having a great GPA, and good ECs, I didn't perform so well in the internship scene because I just genuinely didn't know what I was doing and how to go about this, and by the time I figured it out it was too late. So for my junior year internship I'm between LexisNexis finance intern or Fifth Third commercial banking intern. Yes, this is my junior year internship. So I don't think I can pursue IB full time, but so now I'm going for consulting for full time. But which of those 2 internships is more prestigious/looks better? I don't want to do either FT so that's not really a consideration. Thanks.
