What are your priorities?
Hell-Bent on Fighters: Take an AFROTC scholarship and work your butt off. If you don't get fighters, or a UPT slot at all, the you'll be stuck on AD for 5-ish years. Higher risk, but that's probably the best odds of UPT other than the academy. Once at UPT, you'll have to compete for fighters. This approach also works best if you really want a military career regardless of duty. Better resume, more connections, more military background in your education.
Military Pilot: Get a degree than apply to guard/USAFR units, and USAF AD. If qualified, this casts the widest net, and has the advantage that if you can't get a UPT slot, you're not committed.
Pilot: Get a degree than apply to guard units. Work on civilian ratings if you don't get a guard/reserve immediately, or knock those out while in college. Get a job at a regional as soon as you qualify. Your military and civilian careers progress in parallel... this is the best of both worlds, since nobody can spend their entire working life in a military cockpit (you'll be lucky to make it beyond 40 in the military).
If qualified, that casts the widest net, and has the advantage that if you can't get a UPT slot, you're not commuted.
