I say take Basic Physics. Classical Physics is probably for people who want to major in physics and get a stronger background on Physics in general. well, neither is fun to learn or easy.

Modern physics is post Michealson Morley experiment, Lorentz-Fitzgerald and Einstein. Modern Physics tries to resolve some of the paradoxes that started cropping up in classical physics at the extremes. It succeeds more or less. Classical physics is usually a lot more intuitive and therefore easier. If you are going into biology and wish to get serious about it you will need modern physics for some of the biochemistry. Both are fun. You cannot do modern physics without a solid grounding in classical physics.
