Global VC vs middle-market IB internship

I'm going onto my 3rd year in uni, and SA apps for the 2024 cycle are opening up soon. 
I've just been given 2 offers, one in a pretty big VC fund with a good global presence, but a small local team. The other offer is a small MM IB that has offices in US cities but just set up shop in my country (in Asia), small team as well mostly senior bankers. Both for off cycle. It would be my first proper "finance" internship.
Not sure how to go about this, I initially wanted to move into a space like Asset Management in BB banks and I think the VC internship might be the way to go, but I'm open to starting my career in IB, i think it'd only do my future career a service with the plethora of exits available. 

How do I know which to pick?
