We haven't stayed at either or at the Magic Kingdom area or Epcot area. We are two adults going at the end of April 2024.
100% this. BC is my least favorite of the Epcot resorts (YC #1) but given the choice of BC and CR, I'd go BC. I dislike the theming of CR very much, stayed there once, even got upgraded to CL and it was still a one and done for us. MK is a half day park for us so staying on the monorail loop isn't appealing. We spend part of every day at Epcot and being able to walk to it and HS makes BC the winner.It really depends on what you are looking for in a resort and what your park plans are. In terms of an overall resort, I prefer BC (actually, I prefer YC, but I see that wasn't an option!). It's a quieter vibe on the Boardwalk area and I love just walking around the lake, stopping at all of the different resorts (with their many restaurant and lounge options) and having quick access to EP. I love the old vibe at CR (the Mary Blair mural, in particular), but in terms of theming, I'm not a huge fan - I really dislike the Incredibles theming in the room and feel it doesn't match the theming of the rest of the resort. CR feels like one, big concrete block to me. If your itinerary is MK heavy, however, it's super convenient.

I will add, now days I tend to stay at the Dolphin just because the Disney prices have gotten way out of hand. Usually, I can stay at Dolphin and get 80% of the Disney perks and have access to a good pool and good food for at least $200 less per night. I say usually because recently their prices have been creeping up as well and getting close to those Disney deluxe prices.
Going to have to say Beach Club for youWe haven't stayed at either or at the Magic Kingdom area or Epcot area. We are two adults going at the end of April 2024.
