(Economics and Mathematics) Vs (Computer Science and Mathematics)

I am sophomore at a liberal arts college and I am working towards either a computer science & math double major or an economics & math double major. Keeping in mind that I have a strong understanding of the basics of both computer science and Economics (I have already done all the 100-200 level courses offered for comp sci and economics), which combination do you think will serve me best in the world of business? I want to work in investment banking and would like to get an MBA eventually. I currently have a 3.8 gpa and I think I can keep it at that level with either combination.

CS/Math will open more paths, pretty irrelevant for IB I guess. CS/Math is also much more interesting (subjective) and useful (objective)

No chance of econ and CS? also, at least as far as econ goes, the "basics" aren't truly covered in the first 100 and 200 level courses -- they're covered in the entire undergrad econ major.

Remember, once you're inside you're on your own. Oh, you mean I can't count on you? No. Good!
