I think Duke is more broad and probably better for an academic placement. Duke has many senior people in a variety of areas that I could see placing their students well. Also there are several top notch people in the economics department doing financial econometrics if this is your interest. (Just to say: I don't attend Duke)

That said, I am sure CMU would be a great place to go & I am pretty sure at least one of their students this year is doing/did well on the job market.
