Better SUNY? Binghamton or Stony Brook?

I am currently a high school student living in Buffalo and applying to colleges. My choice has pretty much come down to Binghamton or Stony Brook. I come from a middle class family and we really do not have the means to send me to an expensive target school, so SUNY schools are really one of my only choices. From experience, which of these two SUNY schools would be best for a career in finance, preferably banking, based on their academics, clubs, recruiting and overall reputation. I've heard good and bad about both schools and I am just looking for some more input to help me decide.
