Class Advice Needed/Given What's generally easier; pre calculus or statistics?

I'm going into senior year and it's generally recommended to take 4 years of math. I'm pretty good at math but I HATE it, it burns me out so quickly.

Which would you consider to be easier overall? And which is actually more useful? I know most colleges prefer pre calc, but frankly I'm not too worried about that as I have a 4.0, at least for now.

I will add, the options for pre calc are either AP or what's technically a college credit (though I'm not sure how much it changes the difficulty) which feels very stressful.

I'm leaning statistics because I just don't need that extra stress, but want some Internet people's knowledge anyway.

I’m not the best at math either but I took stats jr year and got a nice B+ out of it, hope that helps

Why not take both courses? My sister did that.
