I would choose a course over PLA if it is cheap enough and quick enough to serve your purpose. The PLA process is not easy. I don't really know what your experience is like. I had tons which made writing the portfolio and providing exhibits fairly straightforward. That said, looking back I wish I had attempted to PLA more courses. The only courses I took that I could not have taught were Discrete Math and Artificial Intelligence. Discrete Math was not really all new, but I had never come at that material from a rigorous point of view.
If you read through the PLA thread linked in my sig, I wrote about my portfolio in more detail. Skip all the chit-chat about fees, it's not helpful.
