Top US BB Quant Strats or smaller non-US bank S&T for SA

Have 2 internship offers, first is in equity derivs quant strats at JPM/GS/MS, second is in S&T at a smaller foreign bank (think BMO/Standard Chartered/Nomura/etc). Both in NYC.

Background is in stats + cs + econ, always thought I wanted to be in trading but the quant strats offer feels like too good of an opportunity to pass up. Thoughts?
