I do not regard neither of these two endings to be favorable for the WA ending. The first one is too conventional the second one would just seem ... forced.
And theres really one way WA can end, and that /is/ the former. Regardless of how any of them survive, the loss of Irwin and Boulder means humanity officially doesn't have a future, and were watching a story about how it died. Theres no greater cause then selfish survival, at this point. Lizzie Jr. is the last generation of humanity, and there is no victory to be had now. Any setting where they live would feel off if thay particular fact wasn't explicit. So,it might be easier for them to all die. Its a flashier defeat, but it'll be a defeat anyway. :P
