In this situation the phrases seem to be equal. I would guess that whether one uses 'how' or 'what' would be based on colloquial speech. Gramatically, I prefer "How are you?" However, on a scale of most formal to least formal I would rank it this way: "I'm fine, how are you?" most formal "I'm fine, how about you? less formal "I'm fine, what about you?" least formal
