I aim to do a PhD in the future (on the general topic of ecology and biogeography) and would like to do a masters before this to make myself a more competitive candidate. However, I am pretty stuck on whether an MRes on a relevant topic or a skills based MSc (in Remote Sensing and GIS) would be a better option?

Just do whatever interests you, but make sure you get distinction :)

Good advice from Saeed and Andrew.
My two cents. For employability, select GIS. Some of my students with a good GIS grasp where headhunted before completion of their MSc. If you have a passion for research and aim at academia, do a PhD. From there to post-doc is the highest hurdle for most (in my experience).
