In my experience, the best way to make a decision carrying potential consequences is to use quantitative decision making, which only requires creating a simple table of 4 columns. This approach is derived from product development, where choices are made based upon requirements and objective information. So in the first column, one writes the absolute requirements down, line by line. Spending time on this is important because if done properly, you can avoid extraneous information and overthinking. Also, y writing them down, you ensure you have thought through the decision properly. Then, in columns 2,3,4 or more, you write down each of the choices. Then, you weigh each of the choices on a scale of say 1-10 in how it meets the individual requirements written in column 1. Then, you add up the scores of each option and the rank order of choices is easily made. You can also weigh the individual requirements higher than each other requirements if they have different levels of significance. Simple tool, never fails, and good for most any decision.

Let me know if you try this and how it works for you, pls.

What if they turn out all even..?

@ It’s rare for that to happen, but it means -assuming the proper requirements and weighting analysis was done - either is an acceptable option.
