Rooster Comb or Hurricane Mountain?

Hello all. Later this July I plan on doing a moderate climb because I'm not quite back in High Peak shape. It seems like Hurricane (9N approach) and Rooster Comb are my best choices for ROI but have never tackled these

For Context:

- This will be on a Monday

- Tentative 6 or 7am start time

- I would like the best views and few people

- Solo hike but will have my dog (not her first climb)

- I plan on a slow slog taking plenty of breaks

- Will have food, water, etc. for extra time (15-20 lbs)

- I have reliable and sturdy trek poles

- No stranger to deer flies

- I am staying in Keene Sunday to Tuesday

Any advice or alternate suggestions are greatly appreciated TIA

EDIT: Probably wouldn't climb the fire tower on Hurricane and if I do Rooster I may hit Snowy first to make a loop

EDIT 2: I mixed up the names Snowy and Mt Snow. Big difference

EDIT 3: Thanks for all the recommendations!
