The latter counts against an applicant and given the choice, I would prefer to hire someone with just a Bachelor's, because they had the good sense not to give their $$$ to a diploma mill.

I’ve heard this from a lot of hiring managers as well. Better to just have a BA than a degree from, say, University of Phoenix.
