Skip both and go with MSE.
But here are some comparisons...
AV-Comparatives - Independent Tests of Anti-Virus Software - Welcome to AV-Comparatives.org
Check this out. MSE is light on resources (as is Avira), but most folks here like MSE.
Best Free Antivirus Software
Guess I'll choose MSE.
One question: Do you turn off Windows Defender or do u leave it on. I never use Windows Defender.
I am not really in a position to pass comment on Comodo AV as i have never used it, but here is a pic of Avast use of resources

If you're looking a light weight AV that uses less RAM and CPU, go for Avast. It uses less than 8-10 MB RAM and very less CPU usage.
Your system specs say that you have 8gb of memory ... why would you be concerned with how much recourses the AV uses ????
I posted a similar thing in another thread. It always amazes me that people are concerned about this. If it takes a few MB of RAM for my AV to do it's job then it's welcome to it.
@Lemur...you should read this "Fanboism" - What exactly does that mean? as it applies to your post here
