Such a hard question to answer really isnt it? how big is your opponent?,how experienced? etc etc,however being a hypothetical question we can have some fun thinking about it.
Here are some of my whats and whys.
I love clinch range,i like elbows, knees, ,and throws mainly from Muay Thai,i have done a long study on my trips to Thailand of the clinch(plam)range and techniques and as i said earlier i love that range,however if my opponent is more than 2 stone heavier than me i struggle to make a lot of the technique work,head control however has never(yet!) failed me on any size man.
That weight/strength ratio is why i would have to chose long range first as i could try to use the space to evade/avoid and strike vunerable targets of bigger stronger men.
Weapons and multiple opponents obviously add a very different set of variables and dynamics,if i had a blade then i would want to be close on that same big guy i wanted to stay away from earlier!.
I have a good friend who is a veteran of many scraps(street) and he has a saying "confidence is king" and i belive that to be 100percent correct,attitude very definately maks the difference.
This is a fun thought provoking thread and surely that very thinking process helps us all to learn.
Have a great Holiday season guys and gals,
Peace.
