(UK) MBA or MSc, Cass or UCL?

Hi everyone, I have 3 offers to choose:

1. Cass Business School : MBA
http://www.cass.city.ac.uk/courses/mba/full-time-mba/the-course
2. Cass Business School : MSc Investment Management
http://www.cass.city.ac.uk/courses/masters/courses/investment-management#courses-details=0
3. UCL : MSc Management
http://www.ucl.ac.uk/msi/study/msc-management/What/#consultancyproject

I had dual bachelor in finanace and economics. Previously worked in the army, in a corporate bank, and in Big Four for 3 years in total. Anyone here suggest me which to choose based on the connection to and reputation in the job market, or other factors I need to consider?

Regarding the course, I am interested in all of them. Now I want to work in finance-related industry (especially banking) but I haven't had a clear career goal and specific interest :( UCL's Management might be too general knowledge even with its specialised finance stream; IM in Cass , on the other hand, might be too specialsed if I plan to find a job in other industries? Getting Cass?s MBA offer surprised me but the tuition fee is way too high?

However, what I concern most is that many job recruiters in Asia ( or maybe even in the UK) select the candidates by their diploma rankings. UCL is ranked worldwide 1st-tiered universities but doesn't have a b-school that I'm afiraid the networking is weaker. Cass ranks highly global MBA ranking, but the overall ranking of City University London is not parallel to Cass. No sure whether the connection to job market of Cass outweighs the reputation of UCL when finding a job in the UK or even Asia.
