I plan to major in business.

Yes, only the ones that count! Seriously, you need to double check the allowed exams. I gave up after 20 minutes, but I can't find your college's CLEP policy anywhere. Even the testing center link only lists placement exams.
Strictly speaking- you will do better with the 6 credit exams since you will only need to take 5 of them to hit your target of 30 credits (cheaper and faster)...BUT you have to check, my hunch is that your college doesn't let you take whatever you want. My hunch is that your won't be able to use English/Freshman Comp or Analyzing and Interpreting Literature (both worth 6) and sometimes even restrictive colleges will only give 3 credits for a 6 credit exam. The business exams are 3 credits, but there are many. You need a list from your college of course to exam equivalencies. You also need to have an advisor look over your list to be sure there are no duplicates.
Also, some very good reading on this website, check out the pdf document "high school graduates guide"
