That's true. The Neo Palm had probably been unaffected by Dark Force with it being trapped by Orakio, so it would have been pretty much as it was when it left Palma 1000 years ago unlike the Alisa III whose inhabitants didn't even know they were on a ship thanks to the war and all the setbacks it caused. They also knew about Dark Force, that's why they came to help the Alisa III when they saw Azura had been destroyed.
As for favourite endings; I don't know. I would agree with H-Man about the Neo Palm making things a bit more interesting. I know the ending with the black hole and arriving at earth was a bit weird and I never liked it much. I know there are those who believe this is what led to the events of PS II, though I'm not one of those people and am more inclined to believe otherwise that the Earthmen just happened to find Algo while looking for a new home. PS II was made before PS III after all.
Anyway, blah de blah. I can't decide and I'm not really fussed about which is better besides 4, so I'm just going to pick 1, 2 and 3.
