Ability, poison, or physical build: which should you force?

Force physical when early Claws, Jaws, Carnivore, or Muscular Tissue appear; force poison only after Stinger, Poisonous Saliva, Spores, Cortex, or Synapse show up; and force a non-poison Ability route only when ranged uptime tools such as Spit, Beak, or Bullseye-supported hybrids are already keeping you out of bad contact.
