Both are young fields. I'd keep wearing both hats as long as possible, and the best path will appear.
I’m a Product Manager in Data. You can combine both. Good luck!
Feel free to DM me, happy to share my experience
It is possible to switch from product analytics to product management later on in your senior career as long as you’re purposeful about it, so you keep developing PM skills at the same time.
If you prefer data science do that. Plenty of good money and roles there.

Product analytics will suit you better if you are in to analytics work. PM is a large field and can vary, some are non technical and have sales-ish responsibilities.
I was at a similar cross roads. Felt like for data analytics you would eventually become a super IC or just a people manager. And if you want to swap into pure data science you would have to pick up the modeling component (which you might already have). I tried out the PM work and it was too much people pushing / deck building for me personally and now I am rerouting myself back to data lol
