I can't speak for the majority, but in my experience the best programmers are engineers, not CS students..
This is probably because the engineers you know have many years of field experience, whereas the CS students generally have up to 3.
I would suggest that a 10 year engineer would lose versus a CS student with a first or 2:1 and 7 years experience. 2:2 and under is not very impressive, on my course anyway. But then I have considerably more background than most people.
