Your GPA would definitely be higher with the Econ/Finance route. At the end of the day business firms really only care about your GPA, interview skills and work experience (if any). They usually train and teach you everything once you join so what you actually learn at university plays little to no part.

That being said if your plan is just to get a job then the Econ/Finance route would be the better choice. A friend of mine got a really high paying job because a finance professor set him up for an interview with a friend who was hiring for his firm.

Interacting and getting to know your finance profs would open more doors for you then anything else. Most of them have years of experience in the private sector and can guide you pretty well if you ask for it.
