For fork redemption, I'd recommend camku on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinAirdrops/comments/8e95u6/hard_fork_selling_extraction_services_kyc/

He only takes a 5% cut, and does much of the work.

With regards to block size I am not big blocker but small blocker. But if its on chain or off chain, I choose on chain. This puts me between a rock and a hard place. I  don't like big blocks and I don't like second layer.

No it doesn't. You can use Bitcoin on-chain any time you want and avoid second layer solutions.

But maybe now you get a sense why I can be hedged with bitcoin and bcash. In the end I admit I don't know which will be best. 

Do you see any merchant adoption going on with bcash? No? Then there's your answer as to which one is best.

+1 for camku, dealt with him without issues before.

That is what I do. In fact I prefer to avoid segwit addresses too. Maybe overly paranoid but I'm not yet comfortable trusting them.

The other day I paid my Vultr bill using bcash, because fees were lower. From what I've experienced bcash is getting more adoption than I expected.

Vultr accepts BTC as well (but not ETH):  https://www.vultr.com/faq/

Do you have any examples that only accept BCH and not BTC?

Speaking of which, I read an article the other day, that trepanning is starting to become a thing with extreme body modifiers.

I must admit I'm pretty tempted. Everyone enjoys strolling around with their genitalia dangling in the open air every now and then, just think about the lovely vibes if your brain got an airing? The poor little thing is shuttered in a bone box its whole entire life.

Bitpay back to their old shenanigans. I’m getting transactions confirmed within a few blocks at 5 sat/WU or less and theyre increasing that by a cool 1500% with their BS “network fee.” Tried to charge me 0.000111 BTC earlier today at a time when my mempool was pretty empty. Is it just so they can be like “BTC network fee over $1, BCH network fee $0?”

Annoying as they’re really the only game in town. I noticed Gyft dropped Coinbase, and I really never see them used otherwise except for when I paid my Tradingview subscription last. BTCpay never took off either.

Coinbase appear to have offloaded the responsibility for private keys onto merchants with their new system. A very weird move as most of them are going to throw it in rather than have to deal with that.

Wow, that’s crazy. Most merchants want a simple drop-in payment solution..... they’re not trying to build a wallet system that interacts with Coinbase API. At that point, they’re better off scrapping the merchant agreement entirely and selling directly on GDAX.

I could be wrong but that's the gist. Coinbase-using merchants seem to be dropping like flies so I buy it myself.
