Default Crusade--which order do YOU prefer?

I haven't gotten around to watching Crusade yet, but I'm considering watching my way through the B5verse. Except this time, including Legend of the Rangers, Crusade, and Lost Tales

Thing is, there's lots of disagreement over which order Crusade ought to be watched in. And since there's clearly no consensus (I gather even JMS has put two suggested viewing orders out there), I decided that I wouldn't bother looking for a CORRECT order. Production and airing orders aren't always the best to go. But, as B5 has shown us, straight-up chronology isn't always the best way to go either.

I thought instead I'd put it to you, the GW B5 community, which Crusade viewing order do YOU prefer? There are four floating around out there, but heck there's always room for interpretation.

For reference:

JMS revised order (sci-fi channel), because it works very well as far as the plot goes, and I'm not bothered by the changing uniforms between episodes.

same, although I generally ignore War Zone because in that order it just makes no sense at all

Interesting. So what do you do, skip it entirely or watch it somewhere else in the order?
