Having AP Calc AB will enhance your application somewhat. My central point is that if you think that you can get an A/A- on AP Calc AB or BC, do it.
If you did not have the same struggle with your math classes during your in-person classes, prior to COVID, than not taking Calc next year can make sense. If your profile is otherwise strong, any benefits to having Calc AP on your transcript are much smaller than the possible negative effects of a Calc class with a lower grade. Do take AP stats though.
