You prefer a new body. I prefer my own body aging backwards to my 20's-30's.[..]
In my urrent belief reviving the whole body is with a higher chance of happening, because it happens today. In the reanimation rooms in the hospitals all over the world there are currently revived fresh death people.
Cryonics patients are mostly old people with multiorgan failure. They can't simply be rewarmed and survive for several months while SENS 3.0 rejuvenates them. Also, most probably, these treatments will be too aggressive for a very old person (think, for example, in senolytics: if you kill too much senescent cells too fast, you spread a big amount of garbage in the blood, and probably the person will die). People reanimated today are relatively young and healthy, and have died of some accident (drowning, heart attack, etc.).
Thus, in most cases, you need to molecularly repair the cryonics patient before rewarming.
