For me, this is an easy choice. I definitely prefer more essence over less essence because it gives me more flexibility, particularly in my starting capitol. I don't count on it being my biggest city, so I can sacrifice food for production. Thus my vote is 3/3/2. That's enough food to grow to a reasonable level, and more than enough production to have some rapid development. My ordering would be 3/3/2, 4/2/2, 4/3/1, 5/2/1 for preference in starting location. <
