I prefer AJ, makes it like a few % points less that someone will reraise you usually. Since it's a relatively marginal hand, that is often going to make the difference between it being +ev or -ev.

Anyway I usually fold AJo UTG in these spots but never with antes like this. I'm pretty certain that from a theoretical standpoint you should be raising that hand here. Risking 3000 to win 2500 is so much different than risking 3000 to win 1500. It's not even close to the same situation.
