AP is meant to mirror a college level class, and community college IS a college level class. Granted, your local CC might not have the greatest prestige factor, and there is no "national standard" to distinguish one CC from another, however, it is my opinion that either route would be looked on favorably by the Academy...
Another interesting outlook would be its effect on course validation. There are several courses you can validate with a 5 on the AP exam... In my case, I took a few APs as well as two classes a semester at a local university. My APs were decent (I think mostly 4s with a 3 sprinkled in), but they didn't really do anything for me. However 3 of 4 college classes allowed me to validate on the strength of my grades, B and up, and a syllabus (Calc had a validation test so it didn't carry over). That being said, I do not know if CC courses would carry over. My guess would probably be no... anyone else know for sure?
