To MS in Finance:
The London Business School is a top-notch school. The others would be of little value to you. If you are interested in graduate education and want to work in valuation, then I believe that the MBA wold be the degree of choice. Not only would you have more options post-grad but also the MBA is more highly valued than a MS in some subject field.
If you do decide to go the MBA Route, try for the top-10 because there is a big difference in the prestige and marketability of MBA degrees. If you can, shoot for the top-5: H/S/W/MIT/K. They pay the BIG BUCKS! After the top-5, the value of the MBA depends on what you want to do post-MBA. For finance, Chicago is great.
If you are interetsed in e-commerce, check out Carnegie-Mellon and Cornell. Also, try UT at Austin.
Hope this helps to get you started.

* University of Chicago MS in Finance
* Columbia University : MS in Financial Mathematics (in applied math) and MS in Financial Engineering (in IEOR)
You might also want to consider getting an MBA at the Sloan School of Management at MIT which has a top notch Financial Engineering concentration. It will give you the flexibility and good financial training.
