Actually this is hard for me to comment on. I can give my opinion but final decision is yours.
If your ACCA F5 paper was great and you are good with your ACCA P3 paper, this provides a good basis for attempting the ACCA P5 paper - which I feel is CONSULTANT paper - since it involves designing performance management systems for the company.
If your ACCA F6 & ACCA F4 was great and you fancy a career in the tax department in the future, then ACCA P6 looks like a possible choice (only if you are studying the same variant as your country - not worthwhile for o'seas students)
On the other hand if you liked ACCA F9 and fancy a job in the investment banking side, ACCA P4 would be ideal paper.
Finally the paper that I would be biased towards - ACCA P7 is a great paper if your ACCA P2 and ACCA F8 is in great shape. The F8 part is not that critical since, this paper is a partner level paper, whereas the ACCA F8 was manager level paper. I belief that all audit firms would want their audit staff to have ACCA P7 background.
So which is the easier paper? - Actually all are equally easy and hard, it depends on the level of previous knowledge, your understanding of what you have already studied and finally your career destination. If you are clear with what you want, studying it is easier, but if you select a paper because it is easy, more likely you are "following the letter rather than spirit" of studying, increasing the risk that you might actually fail the paper.
My final advice - use the force in selecting the path (Obi-Wan Kenobi to Luke Skywalker in Star Wars Episode 4)
