Extend current internship or take a second?

hey guys.

I'm a freshman going into sophomore year, and I'm currently doing an internship at a small real estate private equity firm. I'm interested in either going into consulting or IB upon graduation and I have a question.

Should I extend my current internship from 6 weeks to 12 weeks? or should I do a second internship at a BB PWM group for the second half of the summer?

Which would look better on my resume for consulting/IB internships in the future?

A lot of my work here at the REPE firm is random menial stuff (bank reqs, making investor reports) but I do get some insight into the industry and get some modeling work in, and I like the culture and other interns.

Thanks for the help guys, and input is appreciated.
