Don't know the difference but CompSci is more respected.

Depends upon your target segment of the job market.

For commercial IT software engineering is preferable. For gaming, scientific computing and image/graphic manipulation computer science is more attractive.

The grey area in between includes (non-exhaustively) firm ware, imbedded product software and algorithm optimization in things like data warehousing / business intelligence.

Decide where you want to pitch in the job market and then review the core and optional modules in courses and do not rely exclusively on the titles.
