Help me decide: Breaking into AM

This is my first post so bear with me. I am from a big 10 school, have had 2 F500 internships and a 3.5+ gpa. I am looking for advice on what opportunity to pursue this summer.

My goal is to break into asset management as a portfolio analyst/performance analyst/fund accountant or similar.

My opportunities for this summer include an internship in PWM under a FA and a summer analyst type position at an OCIO.

The PWM bank has a nice brand name (Wells, BoA, UBS), but it would be a lot of grunt work from what I understand.

The OCIO position is with a small group that manages over 10B, and all the guys there are very sharp. I would gain a more hands on/analytical experience but not gain a brand name.

Please let me know what you think, especially if you are in AM. Thanks
