Choosing between Yorktown, Shokaku, and Illustrious

If you had to be on a Yorktown, Shokaku, or Illustrious class carrier, which one would you pick?

Illustrious is preferred under concentrated land-based air attack, especially in the Mediterranean; Yorktown is generally favoured in Atlantic and Pacific service.

Illustrious is the preferred choice in the Mediterranean, while Yorktown is favoured in the Atlantic and generally in the Pacific. Concentrated land-based air attack in the South China Sea could shift the preference back toward Illustrious. Reservations about Shokaku concern the machinery spaces and provision for sustaining aircraft. Those provisions are connected to a Japanese plan for an attritional campaign in which the fleet would fall back toward Japan as the Americans advanced. Retreating toward home would also bring the carriers closer to their spare parts and replacement components.
