I was in your shoes a few years ago, and I ended up going with an MBA. I could give you a boilerplate response like "you need to align your education with your goals" but the truth is that if you are struggling to choose between these two areas, then you probably aren't too sure what your long term goals are. If that is the case, I would probably recommend going with an MBA. A lot of people will tell you that MBAs are a dime a dozen, the subject matter is trivial, and you are just setting yourself up for middle management. But, I don't think any of those apply. MBAs with a technical undergraduate are not at all common. And most technical people would benefit greatly from taking MBA courses. For me, prior to getting an MBA, I had a really hard time communicating with non-technical people. And, I saw everything from a specific perspective. Taking communications, accounting, negotiations, and other business courses opened my eyes to how people on the business side of the fence think. And, this gave me a much better sense of how to communicate with them. In the end, I ended up choosing to not go into management and head down the User Experience career path.
