Both require a great deal of essay writing. Modern History is more interesting :)
I'd go with Economics if you're better at it.. but if you just want fun, then do Modern :p

Its pretty much like this:

During the year, you will hate your self if you choose economics over modern.

But by the end of the year, you will hate your self for taking modern over economics.

:p

You make it sound like Modern is all fun and games but it's not. =/
Modern is interesting if you like history but if not it can be quite boring.

So do what you like depending on your interests and what you think you can do well in.

The extent to which you enjoy economics will highly depend on your teacher and natural skill in the subject.

I had an awesome teacher, and my class learnt virtually the entire course (including HSC) doing multiple choice and short answer questions without any boring textbook work. So it was great. Be prepared for a larger workload in modern history. Economics is concept-based and everything links together, so if you grasp it easily there's seriously little work.

You should know whether you would like modern history or economics by your general interests and curiosities.

I would go for economics only because I want to learn it and I hate history so I wouldn't go for modern history, but that's just me.
