Blackrock vs PE - Internship Decision

As title mentions, currently thinking about what path would be most viable for getting into a investing-related career goal. Was looking to get opinions on both positions and what would make sense for a college junior. 

Blackrock - Private Credit/CorePM Summer Analyst (I'm thinking more for brand name)

Adams street partners - Growth Equity Summer Analyst (Applicable work experience and industry if I want to go into the space directly through their summer program pipeline to an analyst position)
