Should I do Investment Management or Private Equity internship ( first time)?

Hi , I'm a junior at Georgia Tech studying finance. Im planning on getting a internship at a local company near me but I'm having difficulty weighing between a local investment management firm and small  relatively unknown private equity. Both of them push the idea that I'll have hands on experience due to fact they're both small, but I don't know which field in finance would be better to start in. Any advice on what I should do?
