I honestly think this is a no-brainer. If you’re up for the work and can get into a good PhD program, pursue the Computer Science PhD. First, it will open so many more doors for you if you decide to switch paths away from education. Second, with your stated goal (actually creating software and analysis tools), it would seem that CompuSci with a machine learning or other data-driven focus would be the way to go for you.
