Classics/Philosophy double major vs. major/minor

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this sort of thing, but I'm looking for any input that might be offered:

I am a freshman in college and I was trying to double major in Classics and Philosophy, but the problem though is that I can't decide if I'm going to law school or grad school for a Classics PhD after graduation.

Because knowledge of a modern language (German/French/Italian) is pretty much a requirement for grad school in this field, I was going to play it safe and try continuing my German class throughout the rest of my college days in addition to my Latin and Greek courses. The German class will eat up the space in my schedule that would otherwise be filled by another extra philosophy course that would allow me to get a philosophy degree. As such, I will only be able to minor in Philosophy with my Classics major.

Does anybody think that a major in Philosophy as opposed to a minor will make much of a difference in terms of preparation for the LSAT and law school in general? Would the law school be more impressed to see me try for two degrees? I should mention that I plan to write an honors thesis in Classics my senior year, a time consuming endeavor.
