In that case I pick a. It's not a big deal.

I don't have anything against initrd, and use it on several places. It's
useful for many things including enabling / on raid or lvm.

But I also see the usefulnes of having / on a real partition, and being
able to start a kernel with init=/bin/bash when I have screwed something
up, which I tend to do quite often, :)
