Resubmitting Physics LOR: Lab Professor vs Lecture Professor

Hey guys,

Two schools I’ve applied to have suggested that I submit a physics LOR with my application. (I hadn’t taken physics yet at the time of my application)

I’m one week away from being done with PHY 1 and the lab. If I were to ask for a LoR, does it matter if it’s from a lab professor or a lecture professor? What’s more beneficial? (Getting A’s in both classes)

Thanks!

Ask the one who you have the best relationship with and will say good things about you.

Simple as that? Doesn't matter the class vs lab?

All things equal, I'd go for the lecture professor but I agree with @AEZDent that I would take the stronger letter of rec!

is the lab one a TA/grad student or a full professor?
