Physics for me, of course. The upper-level physics labs (where you get to choose your own projects, start playing with NMR and cosmic-ray detectors, and are expected to display actual statistical rigor) were particularly valuable. Though of course you need most of the physics before and a maybe a statistics class to really appreciate them.
