Disclaimer: I haven't attended either UND or CWU, so keep that in mind.
It is true that Horizon gave some level of preference to UND students when they were hiring. I believe this was mainly because Horizon's chief pilot went there or for some other reason had a strong preference for those students. However, I don't think Horizon is likely to be hiring again anytime soon.
In the current environment, I doubt either one will get you to an airline faster. UND does have a relationship with Cirrus, which might foster an opportunity for you down the road... but again, who knows when Cirrus will be hiring again.
If you MUST major in aviation, I would go to CWU, just because it's closer to home. But my stronger suggestion is to major in something that you're interested in (other than aviation) and get your ratings on the side. I see an aviation degree as a technical degree, and having one doesn't typically get you special treatment at an interview.
