Coming Back After A Long Time - Split Saves

Hello! 

I'm coming back to Star Wars Battlefront 2 after quite a while after hearing that it's had a boom in popularity recently. That's great and I'm excited to play. However, while trying to boot it up after downloading, I was confronted with the option to choose between either a local or cloud save file. The other would be deleted. I would assume that the most recent option would be best but granted that I also own the game on Xbox, the main appeal of playing on pc is using the quite high-level account I own (it has nearly 400 hours on it according to EA). I do not want to log in to find out that this is not the same account that I left back in 2022 (yes, it's been that long). There doesn't seem to be any way to determine the contents of either local or cloud save files, but I'd at least like assurance that choosing local is the best option. 

Thanks!
