Personally, I don't see the point in Advanced Highers unless they're necessary for your University requirements.
But, speaking from experience, I did two crash Highers in my last year at High school. I studied Higher History and Higher Computing, both of which I got an A in.
It wasn't easy, I studied very hard for these. But, if you're willing to invest a lot of study time and genuinely do care for the two subject's they're worth it.
I would go along with the two crash Higher's.

This year I've crashed higher business, geography and modern studies. I'm predicted A's in all of them and haven't found them difficult. However, I think that's because I do really enjoy the subjects and I regret not taking them before. If you like the subjects you're crashing and put in the work then it isn't that difficult.
I was in an advanced higher history class for a month at the start of the year and the workload is considerably more than other subjects, plus it didn't interest me so I wasn't motivated to put the work in. I would only do an advanced higher if you need it for university entry requirements or if you really enjoy the subject. Lots of people in my year who have done advanced highers ended up dropping them halfway through the year because so many people got unconditional offers.

thanks for the replies 
, i've chosen AH history and maths and crash highers in geography and modern studies for sixth year. I seemed to have an aptitude for modern studies when i studied it up to third year, and decided to choose between history and mods for nat 5 as I didn't have a set career path in mind and wanted to keep my choices open. I just wanted to see what the workload was like for these two subjects in comparison to say, AH history, as I can see myself being interested in the studies, but also do not want to work excessively to achieve good grades in the subjects.

So when I sat them I got a C and a D in my AH's and an A and an A/B (70% in this higher, so I'm not sure if it was an A or B). So without revising I bombed my AH's but did not bad on the highers so for me personally highers are much easier to get your head round that AH's. That being said, now I have started revising AH's are not really that bad and If I had done work from the get go I would have breezed my AH's.
Basically its six and half a dozen really...
