Imperial course is better recognised by employers but I have seen few move directly into quant researcher/trader roles (do a linkedin search, there are some but its not common). You may also want to consider the MSc Mathematics and Finance at Imperial or the MCF at Oxford.

That said, both should get you interviews for trading jobs at banks and potentially some interviews at trading roles at prop shops. At that point it is up to you to perform.
