Is a return offer better on a resume than diversifying experience while in college

I am currently going into my sophomore year and this summer I interned on a derivatives desk at a HF in NY and they asked if I would come back the next summer (sophomore summer). I was wondering if it is better on a resume to get diversified experience at a different fund or showing that they liked me enough for a return offer. I want to end up at one of the larger players for my junior year internship and I am not sure what would make me a more competitive candidate.
