Would you include 120's IQ tests with inconsistent subsection scores in appeal?

She reiterated that the committee let in a lot less kids at the school and across the board this year.

Maybe it is worth including both and explaining that DC is capable of performing high but not consistently, and that is why learning environment that engages him properly is so important?

Either way.... I would be inclined to include DAS-II only.

I agree. Submitting two different IQ tests might look weird and a bit desperate. The WISC Fluid Reasoning is very low for AAP, and I wouldn't want to call attention to that score.
