You are really lucky to have double legacy at UPenn. It is a big deal, but it only applies to ED. Both schools have extremely low RD acceptance rates, so by not applying to any school ED you risk not getting in to either of them. I recommend choosing the one you love more for your ED option. It maximizes your chances of getting in at least.

My opinion: If I were you I would ED UPenn since you have legacy. Both schools are awesome in their own right, but between the two schools (according to a college comparison source based on actual student data), 83% of students admitted to both UPenn and USC would prefer UPenn instead. I have linked it below:
