Soph. summer to set up for Junior summer

Hey guys,

Am currently a sophomore at a semi-target. For my junior summer, was looking to try and get a S&T internship at a BB. For this summer I have two options and was wondering if I could get advice as to which would put me in the best position for next summer.

The first is more of a BO role at a large bank working in corporate trust- structured credit.

The second is an AM company ($40b AUM) w/ a focus on fixed income.

My thoughts were that the large bank would give me "the name" on my resume, but not sure how applicable it could be to S&T unless I specifically talked about wanting to trade structured credit in the future or be on that desk for the internship. The second option, Asset Management, I think would allow for more exposure to the sales and trading world. Both would be paid internships, FYI.

Thoughts? Thanks.
