EA or RD for my little brother?

I think RD would be a good route for your brother. ND is very conservative during EA admissions, and advises that most people apply RD unless they are extremely well-qualified across the board. It sounds like your brother is off to a great start, especially with those EC’s. But applying RD will give him some time to put forth his best application possible. He’d have time to retake a standardized test in October, write a fantastic essay, and raise his grades a little during first semester. All those things will help him in the admissions process.

Best of luck to him :)
