You can say both, there is almost no difference.

El significado es el mismo pero ¿Qué tal está uste? es más informal.

Que tal, es un poco más informal, tal ves sean comparables con "how are you?" y "how are you doing?"

Both are the same, but "¿Cómo está usted?" sounds more formal than "¿Qué tal está usted?. commonly we use "Usted" when we want to talk in a formal way, so i think it is beter to use "¿Cómo está usted?" in this situation.
