I will second much of what therapist4chng said. No one can gauge exactly how any individual employers will respond to a distance education graduate degree, but the grim reality is that the job market is not as friendly to those whose learning has taken place online. Right or wrong, an "online degree" suggests minimal rigor, and in many cases it brings to mind diploma mills. I don't know that most recruiters understand the difference between an arguably reputable institution and a mill, and they may not be willing to take the chance on a student whose degree was obtained through a distance education program. My boss is an exception; he brags quite a bit about his son, who is completing his PhD entirely online--something I think is rather insane.
A bit of personal experience; I completed half of my undergraduate degree online, but through an in-state institution where the online program mirrors the traditional classroom program in content and instruction (including the same professors). If you're considering something online, I would strongly suggest looking into colleges that have a brick and mortar campus, as well, even if you don't plan to take classes on campus. It adds credibility to the degree, but I don't know that it can compensate for the stigma.
Finally, I guess I would ask why you have ruled out traditional graduate programs. If money is an issue, I would think that attending even a partially funded program on campus would be more financially advantageous than attending an online program where you would be financing your entire education. I can't imagine surviving graduate school without functioning as an RA/TA, etc. I think there's a much larger divide between online/traditional grad school than there is online/traditional undergrad. Just my thoughts--good luck, whatever you choose.
