Since both of these are prestigious organizations, it comes down to the engagements and achievements of the club chapter at your school, and your contributions to the club as a leader. President and Vice-President would probably hold a similar level of impact as you can always list yourself as a co-president on your apps, so it wouldn't make too much difference. One thing that would make a difference would be your interests. Which club best aligns with your interests, major/career goals? Make a decision based on that, and make sure that whatever it is you choose, you make impactful contributions. That's how you stand out. Just holding the title of the position wouldn't make too much of an impact.

I am planning to go for Engineering major. could you elaborate on the achievements part ?

@floraa year ago

Achievements would be the number of people you've recruited for the club and awards for your club or its members. For NHS, it might be the amount of donations you've collected, the number of hours you've given out, the number of events you've successfully hosted, etc. Sometimes clubs might make a huge change in their communities like introducing a community garden for example. Basically the amount of recognized activity and changes you've made to your community. Does this help?

Since you're planning on majoring in Engineering, either would be great! It's a matter of preference and how sure you are about making a change with the club.
