From a purely resilient perspective, last option would be the best. It provides the more machines, with the more disks, meaning that if anything happens, the smallest fraction of data from the cluster will be lost. Lost data is possibly only ephemeral (time for server or disk to be brought up again). But while down, Ceph will try to re-copy data from duplicated fragments to other disks, inducing a major private network bandwidth usage. Now whether you only have 8 TB of data to be recovered or 128 TB may have a very different impact.
