Research/academia experience or industry internships?

I'm an undergrad currently in an academic lab that focuses on segmenting and tracking bacteria. It's pretty cool stuff, and honestly I could do this for a living. Question is: for the upcoming summers, is it better to obtain industry internships or work in academic labs dealing with computer vision? I'd like to work straight out of undergrad, but I wouldn't mind pursuing a Ph.D.

Also, can someone help me identify if [this](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.04526.pdf) is considered "research" or machine learning engineering? …
