Transcript Strength for IB Recruiting

I am a freshman in college planning on recruiting for top IB roles. Does recruiting care about the strength of transcripts, or look for individual courses? Or is the focus simply GPA? I ask this because, to fulfill my degree requirements, I have the option of taking an easier econ course vs. a harder one. Will taking the harder one benefit my recruiting profile, or should I take the easier option to increase my odds of a good GPA? Thank you.
