I don't think these edge lights are that helicopter friendly in the 'frangible' department.
The short taxiway light in your photos does not appear to be of the frangible type. The tall taxiway light has what appears to be a frangible coupling at the base of the post. Hard to tell for sure from the photo.

As stated previously, best choice for landing (if there is indeed a real choice) will depend on circumstances. No single choice will work for every situation.
