Regional Boutique IB or Top BB PWM? Help!

Hi guys, I am a freshman at a non target, and I have 2 offers for this summer, one at a top BB in their wealth management division (Think GS,MS,JP) in NYC vs an IB shop in my hometown (I have no idea what I would be actually doing there).

I am pursuing a career in IB, which would be the better choice? Thanks
