MS Stats or Financial Engineering

I'm currently an undergrad student studying Econometrics in the Netherlands. I will be applying to US universities and I'm unsure whether to apply for MS Stats or MFE, which would be more competitive, specifically quant-related positions. I'm unsure what the current and future reputation is for these degrees in the US.
