They are both a lot of fun for sure. It's really fun to come out of that lightbulb at 100+ mph!
The DE line through 2-4 is really rewarding, very smooth. Interestingly though I found I could go faster by muscling my way through that section.
The key to that DE line is to take that first right hand apex about a car width off, and then it's pretty smooth with a big constant radius though 2 and 3. 4 is sort of a throw-away though, so I think it might be better to maximize the speed going into the T4 apex and sacrificing the exit speed since it's slow anyway. In the instructor group everyone had their own line
