Dual Enrollment vs AP

Applying to College
1

Next semester, I am taking:

AP Physics 1
AP Calculus BC
AP US History

and for my fourth class, I can choose to do AP Language/Composition or Dual Enrollment English at a local CC. Which one looks better on a transcript? So far, I have not done any dual enrollment but have taken AP Classes. AP at my school is harder than the local small CC, so it would be easier to Dual Enroll. I’m also scared of overloading myself with 4 intense AP courses at one time, so I would like to have one class that is not as challenging, but somewhat challenging.

Will college admissions officers look down on the fact that I haven’t taken an AP English in my high school career, and suspect my performance in English or skills as a writer are subpar?
Which course should I take?

Take AP Language if it’s offered. If available, institutions prefer AP courses as there is some uniformity among AP classes wherever you go. CC classes may vary quite a bit.
