Summer Internship: Top BB (not GS) Trading desk VS Squarepoint QR

Hey everybody, not going to waste your time: I got the two offers and I am really lost. In favour of the Top BB Trading desk : I will 100% get a return offer (explicitly told by the MD last round except rare case, I am the only intern at the desk) and I will start as an Aso 1 (worth to note, as I am a master Student). Against that, I have a Squarepoint QR offer, getting full time might be more challenging. In terms of total comp, the first two years are I think kind of similar as you start Aso 1 at the BB, but starting 3rd year, Squarepoint starts hitting you with serious money. I know the job isn't the same, but I was just asking in case there were an easy answer? I have more of a research background, went very lately into finance, so I am not familiar with every notion!
Thank you guys!
A learning monkey!
