IIRC choosing neither works.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Are you trying to move it into a new exchange like RIGHT NOW???  If you can wait for it, then you could save yourself .001 and stay put for a couple days till your transaction goes through.  Forget about the open transaction issue because you trust GOX to NOT doublespend your coin.  I usually always pay the 001 fee because I'm paranoid that if the network blocks my transaction and sends it bac to GOX, that GOX cannot fund the btc back to my account for some reason or another (wallet server and your old address being a shared wallet at some point.
