I did both because there was a overlap in classes, so I figured why not. But truth be told, it doesn't make a difference. I've worked in both types of lab settings and currently working on my PhD and I easily could have done it with either degree. In fact, your degree doesn't matter so much; there are people in my program with chemical engineering, math, and history degrees. The course work that you take, the research experience you have, and most importantly what you are passionate in are what is going to make the difference. If you are excited about something, then most people will be willing to teach/train you.

In both the courses you will have to go through basis courses of biochemistry, genetics, physical chemistry, math, computer science etc. You will have to deal with molecules. In microbiology however you will dip your hands with bacteria and viruses more. I guess you will have greater application with microbiology considering that it is more of applied tinge.

That depends on what you intend to pursue after college. Please clarify your intentions. If you're just looking for something in general, either one will suit your needs.
