If you're looking for a course immediately after 12th grade,  B.Com is generally considered the better choice as it provides a foundational understanding of commerce concepts like accounting, finance, and taxation, which can be built upon later with an MBA if you decide to pursue a management career; however, if you are certain about a management career path and have access to a good MBA program, an integrated MBA after 12th could be an option.
