I know there are bs in computer science and ba in computer engineering and about 15 other degrees that 'sound' like they would be it but I don't know whats better???? If you know what degree 'looks' better let me know that too! thanks in advance

Computer Engineering. Not Computer Science or Computer Science Engineering or Electrical Engineering.
CS & CSE are involved with software, high-level languages, and are concerned theoretically about computation speed and what not.
EE is only electronics - no processor or memory for you. Those are the guys who make everything but computer hardware.
CE focuses on hardware and the interface from the hardware to the system, or the hardware's system!
A 4-year degree at a decent university to get a BS in CE would more than suffice. I'll link you to the EECS department of the University of Michigan, which includes the CE program. I'm in CSE there right now, and if you can afford it, check it out.
Cheers!

Computer Engineering. The traditional way of becoming a Computer Engineer was just to get an Electrical Engineering degree and take more classes focused on computers. The new condensed although not entirely embraced route is the Computer Engineering degree. With CE you'll most likely get more programming experience than in EE.

Don't ever get a BA, this is a science and you want a science degree. BSEE can mean either Electrical or Electronics. Electrical is more concerned with the generation and distribution of electrical power. Electronics is aligned more with digital and other types of electronics products. Both will give you alot of the same theory background, then take different higher tracks. My degree is Electronics Engineering Technology and I design digital embedded electronics systems (computers built into products for specific tasks, not general purpose computing devices). I could've just as easily gone into higher level computer products if I had chosen, but it's a more limited field. I've met a few CE grads in my time, not terribly impressed personally.

Electrical Engineering will take care of what you need to know no matter what part of hardware engineering you might end up with. You might also consider materials science, which has become the guiding force behind so many hardware revolutions.

You will need either a BS in Computer Engineering or Electrical/Electronic Engineering.
