Assume equal interests. Which degree would you recommend the most for employment? CS, Maths, or Stats?

All things equal I would look at the school and opportunities for industry internships that upper years have been getting that you might be able to get. CS -> SWE/Design/PM Math/Stats -> Data Analyst/Data Scientist Both can -> Data Engineer. I would probably take overlapping classes to keep your options the most open, but once you get that first internship, assuming you still like it, I would stay in that lane and keep trying to get better and better internships in the same field so you come out strongest as a new grad.
