I think the best advice is to pursue whichever area actually interests you the most, going after a particular niche based on the current legal market is either going to lead you into a job you hate (although you may get to cash large checks) or a field that is flooded by the time you finish your education.
I know this doesn't really work for you, but in my experience the patent area that is turning more half assed lawyers into millionaire partners is pharmaceuticals. Blows me away to see how many guys in that area are making partner at huge firms year after year.
