How much time do I have ?
How much money do I have ?
What is the likelihood that this site has been previously developed?
Can I save money later by spending it now?
Evaluation Factors

Higher Up-Front cost generally means less likelihood for Claims.
Lower Up-Front cost + shorter schedule generally means higher likelihood for Claims.
Most Cost Efficient
