Based on our experience, we highly recommend selecting Freighter as it only requires preparing for 1 side mission (Minisub), which Trevor needs to steal a Submersible, whereas the Offshore choice requires at least 2 preparation missions (Cargobob, Minisub). Choosing Freighter simplifies the process and reduces the overall workload for the Merryweather Heist.
