One of the things that I’ve found in my own searches on this topic is that it often depends on your geographical location and also on your experience after school. For example, in Europe, or dealing with people from Europe, they will view your MS in Commerce (from UVA?) more favorably than an MBA. Also, if you have no work experience coming from your UG in Econ, then your MS in Commerce will look more legitimate than an MBA which came without having spent 2-5 years in the private sector.

Generally, I would tell you that the MS would be better because it would give you specialized and focused curriculum while the MBA would be more broad based.
