Sophomore Internship advice - Internship at the SEC or Assured Guaranty

I'm interested in what people think about two offers I'm currently looking at and which I should take if I'm interested in a S&T SA position for next summer.

Option 1 - Internship at the SEC. The Securities and Exchange Commission is seeking multiple summer and longer term interns in the field of Quantitative Research (Financial Engineering) to work in our New York Regional Office. These positions are voluntary (unpaid) and only open to US citizens.

Option 2 - Paid internship at Assured Guaranty working with municipal bonds and reinsurance of bonds. Primary duties/responsibilities •Collecting data from various sources including news and financial websites. •Organizing information for quick dissemination to the group’s analysts via the company’s internal electronic data management systems (EDMS). •Assisting analysts with the preparation of charts used for presentations of sector reviews. •Reviewing, per instruction of analysts, of specific legal documents to ensure compliance with disclosure requirements.
