Academically you are better off enrolling directly into USC and/or UCLA than going to a community college first. However, I know nothing of your background and it might make more sense for you to go to community college first. Both LAHC and LACC are great community colleges. I would personally recommend LAHC just because it is smaller, but if you want more diversity on the courses you can take then you should go to LACC.
Good Luck!!!
