In my opinion, Medical Biotechnology is better.

Reasons:
1) It's a specialization.
2) Future is bright in Health Sciences, and biomedical engineering for new diagnostics and instruments.
3) Salaries are very high for good biomedical engineers in companies like IBM Rsearch and GE Healthcare.
4) You might work on Tissue Engineering/Instrument Design/Drug Delivery/NanoBiotech etc in Biomedical Engineering course. Each of these sub-fields of Biomed are the hot topics of research today.
