Ground clearance would favour the A320 over the 737.

Servicing requirements would favour any aircraft with a great big cargo door (they always used to empty the Comet Rs before majors or mods with industry).

Power generation requirements, range, endurance and survivability would favour a four-jet.

A340, please.
