I naturally would say Computer Science, but looking at what you provided:
1) AP Econ would be more enjoyable for you, as you mentioned.
2) AP Econ would be better for college credit.
3) Does AP Computer Science have anything to do with your future major in comparison to AP Econ? That will help you choose, I think.
4) Knowing a programming Language would help make a fancier resume in any tech job, in my opinion.
5) This really depends on how much you'll work at it. Taking a class because you think it is/is not easy is not the way to go. Take it whether or not you'll actually like it. If you think you might end up hating Computer Science, don't take it. If you think there's potential for you to love it, take it. If you are only judging it based on the teacher, I think you're going at it the wrong way. Especially when it's an AP class, this is true.
6) How exactly will those two Exams help you in the future (I've never heard of them)?
If you choose AP Computer Science....get Eclipse. It solves headaches.
Unfortunately I have no suggestions for you if you choose AP Econ, but good luck whichever way you go.
