Big 4 Advisory vs. Summer Financial Analyst Program

Hello Everyone,
Would love to get some advice on which route is better for a summer internship eventually leading to IB / PE / front office. Either big 4 Advisory Summer internship or Citi Summer Financial Analyst Program (hired as "generalist"). As a background, I had prior internship at a boutique IB and looking for something that will give an "edge" when applying for full time next year.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
H
