Best Unit to rent with an AC

So I got an AC for turning in an Easter week at the Surf Club in Aruba. I've tried using it but can't find a time to do it, so I've decided to get the "best available" week I can, and put it on TUG and Redweek and rent it. My question is--all things being =, what would be the best property available for the money that I could rent. I turned in a 2br, so I'm getting at least a 2br back. I've even seen Surfwatch 3br's available in Oct. and/or November. Problem is I'm not sure what is better--a Hilton Head week, or a week in Aruba that may only be a 1br.
Hope I'm allowed to ask this, and hope I can get some answers--as always.
Thanks
Pete

Uh....

Renting any week that you get from II violates II's Membership Terms & Conditions. The risk is that you'll be found out, your account suspended, any deposited weeks forfeited and the reserved AC week canceled. Worse, if your renter shows up to check in and finds the week canceled, you'll be in one heck of a legal mess.

There have been reports here at TUG, including one within the last several weeks, of people having their account suspended for actual or suspected renting of weeks obtained from II (and similarly from RCI).

Ouch!!!

Sorry Dave, I must have missed that one.
Am I allowed to get a week and then "give" it to a family member with a guest certificate?

Yes, you can get a guest certificate for an AC, just like any week you get from an exchange.

Yes.

You can test this in II. Go pick a week with an AC and you can run through the whole process before you finalize and commit.

OK--so back to the original question

What kind of week is good/best to get for this purpose?

I had my account suspended on suspicion of renting a week on EBAY. I wasnt, and it was cleared up, but it became very clear that II is actively looking for rentals of exchanges.
