I really don't know what makes a good supp. application, but my advice is to be sincere.

No one EC is favoured over another, and that probably goes for any program you apply to. The best extra-curricular activity is the one that you're passionate about.

The program that's the most fulfilling depends on
you.
BHSc is a very specific program - right from the beginning, you know you will be studying health and its various aspects. If you don't like studying health, you may find that it's not the best program for you. However, BHSc does have lots of elective space for you to pursue other interests, and there are a few specializations you can enter if you really like something (biomed, global health, child health).
Life Sciences I is more general and less restrictive. You have the opportunity to experience the many areas of science and find what fields interest you the most. Then, in second year, you have a plethora of options available to you. If you found after first year that you liked physics, you can go into physics; if you liked math, you can go into that; if you're interested in biochemistry, you can go into that. A lot of upper year science programs also have co-op, which BHSc does not.
To answer your second question, each program will have a set of courses that are restricted to only students in that program. But there will likely be courses in each Faculty that are open to everyone. For example, courses like Psychobiology, Epidemiology, and Immunology are Health Sci courses that are open to all students.
Anyway, hope this helped.
