If you know an MBA will help you advance in your organization, get an MBA. Otherwise, I'd go with the MS because the program will be more relevant and applicable to your work. Getting the MS won't close the door to getting an MBA later on if you so desire. Even if you do go the MBA route, an MBA in IT is highly unusual, to say the least, and I seriously doubt its utility. I think it would be better to just get a regular MBA rather than watering down your experience with IT management stuff that really is something entirely different.
Disregard accreditation because it's meaningless outside of very few circumstances. Accreditation is more for the school than it is for the students. Good business schools are (almost always) AACSB-accredited, but it's not the accreditation that makes them good, as evidenced by the number of mediocre business schools that are AACSB-accredited.
