F100 v. VC Internship

I'm currently a sophomore looking to go into IB. I have the opportunity to intern as a financial analyst at a F100 technology company (think HP, Dell, Microsoft) or a small VC shop in NY. Which one of these would give me the best shot at getting a SA position in a BB IBD next year?

Thanks for the responses. ^ So VC is the better option even if its a small unknown group? I'm surprised by the answers because i would have thought a big name with a more structured training program would look better on a resume. I appreciate the input!
