Business Broker/Small M&A Advisory or Small PWM internship?

Sophomore at Top 50 Us News school - As of right now, I have two offers for this summer (current sophomore) (still cold calling/emailing Boutique IBs however).

1 - Business Broker/Small M&A Advisory Internship

2- Local PWM Internship - I would start in spring during semester, could also extend into summer if I dont get any other offers elsewhee.

What is the best option to break into IB? Should I try getting Corp Fin over these? Obviously Boutique IB is #1 option if I can land it.
