MBA or Masters of Quantitative Finance
I am a rising undergraduate senior and I might have a job for a middle market bank this summer, but if not do you think an MBA or a Masters of Finance would be more beneficial and why?

The general consensus on this site is that an MBA outside of the top 15/20 is pretty much useless for IB (assuming that's what you want), and especially if you are still a student with no full-time experience. Either way, it will be very difficult to get into a top MBA without 4-5 years of work experience.
I am currently in a MSF program, albeit not a quantitative one. IB from an MSF is definitely doable, although you'll want to be at a top program and be ready to network your ass off. I'm not sure what IB recruitment looks like from a quantitative MSF, but you better have a good story as to why you're pursuing IB from a quantitative degree.
Can you elaborate on what you mean you might have a job for an MM this summer? Do you have an offer that you fear might be rescinded or are you still in the interview process?
I am in the interview process at an boutique IB right now. If that goes well this summer I could be placed full time at the end of the internship. I was just worried that if they didn't take me on that I could be running out of opportunities for the fall.
@msf-2-IB Hey, may I pm directly to ask you about your program? Hope you're having a swell day!
