Bank of America FICC Trading VS Goldman Sachs Commodities Sales

Hi everyone, I am a sophomore and would like to ask the prospects of BAML FICC Sales and Trading (Rotational programme) vs Goldman Sachs Commodities Sales? Both internships are offered in the same city. Even though GS is more prestigious, I am worried that commodities and sales is too specialised and won't offer future development - ultimately I want to aim towards portfolio management role. Also, I have heard that GS is cutting their commodities division as it is failing to generate results. Appreciate any advice! Thank you!
