A: preferably, because I genuinely believe it would be a more interesting climax (not to mention giving the villains some early success, as a general look through history seems to show that the villains lose every time.) 

C: as a backup, basically anything but B, which would be a bit of a kick in the teeth after all the planning and build up that went into this scene thus far.

So, I guess I vote A, though I'm also biased. Can't have Silence fail his first mission, he needs the money to pay for his sick dog's vet bills.
