You present it like these are the only two alternatives.
Personally if I were deemed a threat to national security I would select the trial. I'd do so because I know I probably won't see the inside of a courtroom anytime soon, if ever. What the trial really means is I chill in Yemen for the foreseeable future, protected by my "tribe" from the US and Yemeni governments.
In short, I'd choose the trial because I know the trial will probably never happen.
