I don't have first hand experience with the Met course, but I believe (or heard, or read somewhere 
) that it's geared towards teaching people to be meteorologists, ie a course you do if that's the profession you want to get into. Sometimes those sort of degrees require extensive job placements in third year which could be difficult to juggle if you're flying as well. If you don't want to be a meteorologist, you may well be better off with the aviation course, or a generalist Science degree. If you're interested in aviation you'll probably enjoy the aviation course and people tend to get better marks in stuff they're interested in.
Without turning this into a rerun of the never-ending "degree vs bush flying" saga, you don't need a degree to be a commercial or airline pilot. IMO, if you want a degree as a backup or for further education without a specific employment goal in mind, keep it general.
To a reasonable extent, in the job market a degree is a degree and a lot of prospective employers don't even ask what you majored in.
