Would an MS in Finance or MBA be a better option for breaking into IB in UK/Europe? Would salaries for both be in the same range or would they be different?

If you don't have any / much good work experience, an MSF is probably better but you'll enter at a lower level (usually as an analyst). MBA is better if you have solid experience (4-5 years) beforehand.
Caveat: I only have experience with the US
I’m pretty sure an MBA is pretty uncommon in Europe. Don’t really think that’s a mainstream option
Barely anybody does an MBA in the UK, do an MFin.
