    Well considering if you go route 2 you're most likely going to lose, I'd say I prefer route 1.

    50 unique defenders, as although doom, thing and korg are "harder" defenders than most, they will be easily beaten by most alliances.

    Lets break it down some..
    •Each unique defender = 30 points
    •Each defender has 3 attack bonuses the opposing team can earn. Each = 80 points

    With option 1..you will have a perfect 1500 diversity points, plus any attacker kills that count towards the attack bonus will be docked from the other teams point total at 80 points a pop.

    With option 2..you will have 90 diversity points which means you will need atleast 18 attacker kills that count towards attack bonus in order to break even with option 1s (start total of 1500 points). And assuming option 1 acquired some kills, you will still be trailing by just as many.

    So based off of this, and my experience with battling most Gold or higher allys..option 1 would be the way to go because these allys are typically skilled enuff to take those 3 defenders down with minimal deaths, not to mention most likely all have deep enuff rosters to bring counters for each of them.

    If were talking about less skilled allys somewhere in the lower brackets..then option 2 could be a well deployed strategic maneuver IMO.

    For route 2, all I need is Stealthy, Havok and Void.

    T2+ you want 50 diversity. Last season we lost 3 wars on diversity and probably would have placed mid P1 instead of 5th? P2. Below that people drop a lot of deaths on what I would consider perfectly manageable fights so if you could pack in 5-10 of all the hardest defenders at max rank/sig it would be an interesting experiment.
