Take AP Stats or AP Macro?!?!

We’re doing scheduling at my school for next year’s classes, and I realized that I have an extra class picked out (need a free period for gym). I’m a sophomore, and I realize that my junior year schedule is my most important by far.
I talked to some upperclassmen, and they said that AP Stats has a decent workload, but most people find they have to self-study a bit to really do well on the AP test. The AP Macro teacher is one of the worst. I’ve heard that he starts class with a 20 min. long useless story or just allowing everyone to talk. On top of that, there are around 3-4 tests per quarter and they’re all hard. Pretty much, the class is getting a grade for self-studying.

Obviously, the clear winner is AP Stats, but I really want to pursue Economics in the future, and in general, I’m not really a math inclined student (my lowest grade this quarter was in Algebra II). I’m not BAD at it, but I could write a book on things I’d rather do than math. Any suggestions?
