which is the best of the two?

Depends on which direction you want to go to. For me, I chose EE because I like electrical better and EE is more diversified. In computer engr, the only thing I can think of that you will be doing nothing but computer. On the other hand, EE students have options to go into Powers, EM/Microwave, Telecommunication, Electronics, etc. This does not mean that I didn't get enough of programming skill from the computer side, in fact, after my first 2 year as EE student, I got sick of programming and you will too. Depending on which school you go to, but as an EE student, you will have to go through at least 1 semester of programming in C/Fortran, 1 or 2 sem of engr programming like Matlab/Matcad, and the worse of all, at least 1 or 2 sem of esembly language, and many more like egr similation programs in labs.

There is no "best of the two". It's the better of the two. In this case, these isn't that either. Since you spelled "electrical" wrong and "computer" correctly, you might want to go into computer instead :-)
I kid!
It's up to you. However, here is a quick test that might help you in the long run. Pick either A or B below (just one please!)
A: Rocket A will take you about 8 hours to build. Chances of a successful launch is HIGH and you can fire it right after you have it build. At the end of a hard day of work you will see some smoke.
B: Rocket B is a different rocket altogether. It will take you about 8 days to build. You are working with a bunch of other guys, so it might not fire right from the get go. It probably will take another day before it can be launched. At the end of a hard 2 weeks of work you will see some smoke. The right kind of smoke that is.
-Don't peak! Which one seems more exciting to you?
A -> go to computer engineering
B-> go to electrical engineering
Again there's no better of the two. Just pick one and go with it. Don't sit on the fence though ;-) g/l

This is a question you need to answer for yourself. Do some research first.
Find out what type of work both fields do. Make sure your not bored by them. By the way, your interests will change as you go through college.
Look at job opportunities for both fields. ie. is it easy to get job and where.
Look at pay opportunities. This is actually quite important. effects your way of life, the cars you drive, the house you live in, the vacations you take, and your future childrens way of life. etc.
Look at opportunities for managment positions. Hey. this is how to go from middle to upper class. From grunt work to where the decisions are made. From working in a cubicle to traveling around the world for business meetings. Look at who is managing the companies that you would be working for and what education they have.
In my case, I picked chemical engineering. So if I was to recommend a field, I'd pick that. great pay. I can work anywhere. And, most importantly, I'm the boss.

I myself is planning on majoring in computer engineering for many reasons.
1. I love the field
2. With CE, you could get a job in computer hardware and manufacturing which are good (really good) paying jobs.
3. Computer is the way of the future.
4. Electrical engineering isn't in high a demand as it was in the 90s'

Electrical engineering gives higher status and higher pay. Many people can work on computers. Not as many are capable of electrical engineering. There is less competition in electrical engineering.

it may remember in part on the financial device. in this financial device, approximately 0.5 of modern regulation college graduates can not locate artwork of their field. you could think of they might only furnish their amenities at a good deal fee. even with each thing, there are numerous people who'd like to have the potential to hire a lawyer, yet can not have the money for the $a hundred-2 hundred/hr that maximum attorneys fee. yet fairly offering low-fee criminal amenities, those new attorneys are only accepting employment in different fields. this won't relate directly to different stages, even if that is an occasion the place having a glut of those with a definite diploma did not decrease the fee of their amenities. So make what you will of it.

Electrical engineering definitely. I work for an EE in an architects office designing lighting and electrical systems for buildings.
It's great work, and pays really well.

Go with computers. I have friends with EE and ME degrees having to design air conditioning ducts for a living. Thats gotta suck. Meanwhile I'm making a lot of money in computers. You can't go wrong with computers as long as you know what you are doing. There's a lot of people who "kinda" know computers but I'm always rejecting those folks when I interview them. Where I work we always need qualified computer programmers and IT staff, but there really is a shortage of people who actually know their stuff.

Electrical Engineering has more practical applications.

electrical engineering is way more fun! you can even apply it to computers in the future, since they are of course, electrical.
