In my experience, neither really matters. Just don't do something weird like Agricultural Engineering then apply for a Front End job. One of our best and smartest engineers doesn't have a degree. Many did Telecommunications (which was "tech" 10 years ago, before switching to the higher paid software industry). And plenty have just a regular CS or EE degree. There's a lot of variability in in interviewers. Some like the specialization, some like generalists. I would say just go with whatever sounds coolest to you.
