CS path offers more academically/professionally (Score 1)

If you are really interested in learning about computers, go with the CS degree. You will learn about computational theory, OSes, creating your own languages, compiler theory, AI, some math/engineering etc... If you just want to have a job where you use computers, and maybe not one writing a lot of code or dealing with a lot of theory, and you are not interested in learning about the above topics in depth, then go with the CIS degree. Personally I think the CS degree is better both academically and in terms of a career. Today you can get a job with either one, but in my opinion you get a much better education with the CS path, and many companies show preference for CS majors.
