I think an important question you ask yourself is what about biology you really enjoy. I was in Molecular Biology this last year and my housemate was in the physiology specialty- both great programs, but there are definitely some differences. I know they have shuffled around some of the biology programs so don't quote me 100% on the courses you may have to take, but I found myself taking lots of courses similiar to biochem, focusing on DNA, finer cell processes, whereas my housemate in physiology took botany and ecology. Personally, I dislike botany and ecology, therefore I found my program much more enjoyable. I would say your best bet is to look at the types of courses you will have to take in the future and see which have more that you are interested in...maybe if you're like me your choice will be a little more clear cut. Another option/advantage you have with the molbio & genetics specialization is that there is co-op, so if you're looking for real-world experience, that could also make your decision easier.
