It depends on which career do you want. If you want to be in audit firm, go for P6 and P7. If you want to progress your career in financial management then go for P4

P5 and P7 are the best options for you If you want to work in a firm.

But keep in mind the optional dont matter that much. Your career wont be decided by them, nobody will even ask you about usually during job interview etc. They really dont make a big difference. Take the ones you find most interesting or the subjects you are good at.

The only exception is when you are planning to do ICAEW because than you should take P6 in order to get more exemptions.
