Personally I like them all. Which flavour do you want the language to have?
Since this conlang looks like a Quenya-Finnish-sounding language, I'd use
suffixes... but you can leave the Finnish flavour to phonology and to type
of grammar (agglutinating), using prefixes or independent words: you'll be
more original.

As I do : ) In these days I'm working with a verb (hen-st) to test the
inflective system of my new lang... the problem is that I really do not know
what the heck it could mean. I'll probably get rid of it before it
definitely takes over my brain : )
