Use the text your professor requires for the course. When it's time for the MCAT, grab a review book to go along with your text.
 
You have to use the required text for the class, otherwise how will you keep up when they tell you to do the homework problems on page 216???

Don't worry about the MCAT. You're so far away from taking it that all you should worry about is getting good grades and volunteering somewhere.
 
Textbook might help with Acid/Base chemistry, solutions, and electrochemical cells when studying for the MCAT otherwise MCAT review books should be enough. Going with your prof's book recommendation is the best way to go as others have said.

Just use the assigned textbook for the course...when it's MCAT time, the usual suspects (Kaplan, TPR, EK) will be fine for review.

i definitely recommend using whatever textbook your course assigns, and then when you study for the MCAT, don't use that textbook. Your notes may be helpful, but the textbook will go into much more detail than you're responsible to know for the MCAT. and if you study well the first time around, you might not need to review much at all.

good luck!
