Why does this matter? One isn’t necessarily better than the other. Your extracurricular activities should match either what you enjoy doing or exploring potential career options. The difference between these sets of activities is negligible in terms of admissions.

They are both perfectly fine but neither set of activities will get you into a school you are not otherwise qualified to attend.
