Which route to choose?

I am thinking about going to graduate school next year and am trying to decide what to do, the options I have picked out are the following:

MBA

MSF

Master in Economics

Thinking about taking the CFA in all the cases any suggestions or advice on what to do which option would look best on a resume, I am expecting to achieve a gmat score of 600-700 with the right preparation.

If you're in the US, don't do your MBA right out of undergrad unless you're going the academic route.
