Remote VC Internship vs. Remote Search Fund Internship

Currently at a crossroads. Have an offer for a search fund internship and one for a VC internship. The search fund has made an acquisition in the past and has about ~15 interns. The VC firm has made >10 investments and has like ~60 interns. Want to get deal exposure so I was thinking maybe the VC firm, but also feel like the search fund would get me more in-depth deal exposure. Obviously both are going to be mainly deal sourcing, but don't know which one would be more useful for ultimately IB. Any advice?

Both are unpaid
