this is one of those things where the opinions of others don't directly apply to you...i'd look at the textbooks and the grading for the syllabi to decide.
who says these are mutually exclusive? course-difficulty varies significantly from school to school. i took diffeq last semester and it wasn't anything that difficult although it's known at my school to be a lot worse than linear. and i found the diffeq material to be pretty interesting - especially towards the end with qualitative approacheswell this really depends on whether you actually care about learning useful material or only care about what grade you get at the end. My sense was that OP wanted to know which was more interesting/useful not which would yield a higher grade for the least amount of work. For the record i found linear algebra to be more manageable than differential equations and did better on it grade-wise.

Well, I have the choice of taking either linear algebra or intro to differential equations as my final math class.
Which is cooler? Which do you guise recommend?
linear algebra with white and young professor = win
linear algebra with chinese/indian/old white professor = lose
At my university the class after calculus 3 is called "Linear Algebra and Differential Equations"...
this is true of ANY math class honestly
the white and young linear algebra prof was awesome btw ...I hope you were lucky enough to have him too
