Which bubble situation would you prefer?

Well, I was going to make a poll, but that wouldn't make so much sense, because *it depends* and I'm more interested in your arguments. It would be cool to see if ICM agrees with our instincts.
Imagine being in a game, where you have 5000 chips. It's 4-handed. 10000 chips in play.

Which of the following situations would you prefer?
Situation 1:
you: 5000
others:
1667
1667
1666

Situation 2:
you:5000
others:
3500
750
750

Situation 3:
you: 5000
others:
2125
2125
750

The blinds would have a big influence on the situatoin, because if they're huge, the small stacks are forced all-in every time the blinds come to them.
So, which situation would you rather be in? (which is most profitable?) And why? How would the size of the blinds influence your decision? Any other things to consider?

I had the short stacks (with 750) at 500 at first, but that would make them so desperately short I decided to give them some more chips. The outcome is still the same in ICM, only it's closer.

I would prefer having short stacks. I don't mind being against another big stack. So Situation 2, then 3, then 1. The one advantage of Situation 1 is if the others are trying to fold there way into the money, you as the only big stack have an ideal stealing possibility.

2, 3, then 1. That's exactly what you get when you try this in an ICM calculator. Is it that obvious? I wouldn't mind being in situation 1 for example, because you could really torture the other players and get more chips before you get in the money. (the bubble would last longer there than in the short stack scenarios, I think)

Depends where the stacks are sitting in comparation to you. If its:
Seat 1 : You 5000
Seat 2 : 750
Seat 3 : 2125
Seat 4 : 2125

You basically decide how long the bubble is on and youre able to abuse that greatly.
