W$ to spend for a PCA ticket

[BigKahunaGio]

Hello, I've around W$500 in my account and would like to try to get a PCA ticket
What's better in your opinion:steps, MTT or double shooutout?
I think that the average level of the FT of the DS should be < of the avg lvl at $2100 steps, but of course I never played one of these (but I saw many pros always sitting there)
