You sound competitive. Hard to tell without a weighted GPA but the AP classes should bring it up.

I applied ED and got a good number of scholarships. I had a lot of need though. I don’t get the feeling that VT bases your aid on whether you’re ED or not, although if you NEED a lot of aid to attend ED might be a bad decision since you’re locked in and what if you don’t get it.

You can break ED in an emergency if you can’t make tuition but you’d be behind the game on applying to other places if you have to break it.
