Undergrad Major Decision

I have to declare my major and I need help deciding what major to declare, I have narrowed it down to a BS in Quantitative Finance which basically uses engineering techniques to price stocks, equities, and create models OR a BE in Engineering Management with a concentration in Financial Engineering. which is the engineering core and Junior and Senior year its management and grad level financial engineering courses. My end goal is FO S&T but I would settle for a MO position. I go to a semi/nontarget, each year sending like 10-20 kids to the BBs. Which major would you guys recommend I pursue for my S&T goal?

There was a typo in the post, I meant to ask which one would be the best major out of those two.
