This is a tough one. Do you have admits from both schools?
I'd say that the generic advice is that Insead is the better school, given its rankings and the strengths of its global placements. However, the placements at this school tend to be more consulting-oriented. Even so, it's probably the better school in general for most applicants, especially those looking to go to Europe or the UK after graduation (or of course stay in Singapore.)
However, I'd say that since HKU has great connections with Hong Kong-based employers, and places many people in finance-oriented roles, this is a great choice if you plan on staying in Hong Kong (or even if you're planning on going to other Asian countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, etc.)
But it will also depend on what kind of firm you want to work in. If you have particular industry preferences, see which schools' recruiting contacts align best with your goals.
