Which offer to accept for PE longterm?

Hello all, I was fortunate enough to recieve an offer for both a lower MM IB internship and an investments internship in the asset management branch of a large F100 Company.

For backround, I am interested in pursuing traditional PE longterm. The investments internship will potentially allow me to work on the PE Co-Investments desk, as well as a RE PE desk. 

What opportunity will set me up for the best chance at eventually breaking into tradional PE? I know about the notorious IB exit opps but couldn't find much on this type of AM's exit opps.

Any insight you guys could offer me would be really appreciated!
