My advice is to create a plan B whatever you decide. In my case I've created my own business which is helping me raising the money needed for my pilot training as well as it's my back-up plan in case everything goes wrong. I personally choose going modular because it's cheaper and allows me to deal with my job while I'm training. I'm 23 and so I have all the time to find my first flying job. Get a degree first in something you like and then work you ass off to save the money for your training. In the worst scenario you will have 30 years-old and all the money necessary ready without having huge debts and a degree as back-up plan. Go integrated if you don't want to waste more time, as the chance to get a job straight after your training are higher than modular, and at the begin of your 30's you would have been achieved your dream without debts to pay and other 40 years left to enjoy flying.
