This depends on how much time I have to play this position
If I've got enough time, I trust myself to win this as white. Otherwise, gimme the draw odds
I don't know how to defend this so I rather take no draw odds.
Draw odds of course.
I prefer to win if I can.

What’s a draw odds?
If you have draw odds, a draw is basically a win for you. In other words, would you rather try to win the diagram position with White or draw the diagram position with Black?

Second option, easily. I think I’d hardly ever defend it vs a strong GM but I’d win it a reasonable amount against someone similarly inept as myself. (Yeah I’m aware it’s objectively a draw)

In this position, unless there is a blunder, only white can play for a win here and black can only play for a draw. It would be a challenge to win for white here, so I would try to win the diagram position for white.

Go for the win is what I prefer.
Neither. I am likely going to lose the extra bishop as White and lose the rook as Black.
what!?!?
Depends on the time control. In blitz or bullet, I'll take the extra bishop. In rapid, I don't know, and in classical, I would take the draw odds.
Would you rather have a rook and draw odds vs. rook and bishop against someone 400 points higher or rook and bishop vs. rook against someone your level (with your opponent having draw odds)?
